Oh, tame me, Lord! rebellious nature calm

Oh

tame me

Lord! rebellious nature calm

Oh

tame me

Lord!

This heart

so tossed and filled with wild alarm

Oh

tame me

Lord!

These human longings

let them end in Thee

And let me be Thy bondslave

even me!

I will not ask Thee to account to me

For aught Thou dost;

For crosses sore

or paths I cannot see:

But I will trust.

No second causes shall perplex my soul

Or stay from yielding all to Thy control.

The raging storm I dare not fight alone

Ah

show Thy face!

Say

“It is I!” Thyself to me make known

Ah

show Thy face!

Then what care I for darkest depths of woe?

Thine arms

O Christ

shall fold me close

I know!

Oh

save me

Lord! Subdue this stubborn will;

Oh

save me

Lord!

In spite of all

Thy purposes fulfil

In me

Oh

Lord;

I yield my self

and all I have and am

To follow Thee

Thou all redeeming Lamb!

How can I fear? Thou art so near to me;

How can I fear?

I hear Thee say

“Believe

and thou shalt see!”

How can I fear?

I now believe

and trust Thy mighty power

To save

to heal

to keep this very hour!
