An only daughter of wealthy and worldly parents, when once absent from home, was brought to hear of and to accept Christ as her Saviour. With joy she returned to tell her parents; but, in their displeasure, they alternately reproached and pleaded with her to give up her new found riches; finally, her father, threatening her with loss of home and inheritance, asked her decision. With tearful eyes and aching heart she listened; and then, drawing up to her piano, with beautiful voice she sang out her reply in the following words:
I’ll live for Him who died for me,
How happy then my life shall be!
I’ll live for Him who died for me,
My Saviour, and my God!
My life, my love, I give to Thee,
Thou Lamb of God, who died for me;
O may I ever faithful be,
My Saviour, and my God!
Her testimony was afterward the means of bringing both her parents to Christ.
