To Thee My Heart I Offer

To Thee my heart I of­fer

O Christ-child sweet and dear

Upon Thy love re­ly­ing;

Oh

be Thou ev­er near!

Take Thou my heart and give me Thine

And let it be for­ev­er mine

O Je­sus

ho­ly

un­de­filed

My Sav­ior meek and mild.

My heart with­in is glow­ing

O Christ-child sweet and dear;

I love Thee

Lord and Sav­ior

Oh

be Thou ev­er near!

I see Thee in a man­ger laid

Near cattle rest­ing una­fraid;

I see Thy deep hu­mil­ity

And low­ly bow to Thee.

What brought Thee to the man­ger

O Christ-child sweet and dear?

Thy love for me

a strang­er—

Oh

be Thou ev­er near!

O Lord

how great is this Thy love

That reach­es down from Heav’n above

Thy love for us

by sin de­filed

That made Thee

God

a child!

With all my heart and be­ing

O Christ-child sweet and dear

I love Thee

and Thee on­ly;

Oh

be Thou ev­er near!

My heart I in Thy man­ger lay;

Let it re­main there and for aye

Draw it to Thee that it may be

Secure eter­nal­ly.

Let me be Thine for­ev­er

O Christ-child sweet and dear;

Uphold me with Thy mer­cy

And be Thou ev­er near.

From Thee I glad­ly all re­ceive

And what is mine to Thee I give

My heart

my soul

and all I own.

Let these be Thine alone.
