And Can I Yet Delay
Charles Wesley • English
Primary Scripture: Proverbs 23:26
Verse 1
And can I yet delay My little all to give? To tear my soul from earth away For Jesus to receive?
Verse 2
Nay, but I yield, I yield! I can hold out no more. I sink, by dying love compelled, And own Thee, Conqueror!
Verse 3
Though late, I all forsake: My friends, my all resign. Gracious Redeemer, take, O take, And seal me ever Thine!
Verse 4
Come, and possess me whole, Nor thence again remove; Settle and fix my wavering soul With all Thy weight of love.
Verse 5
My one desire be this: Thy only love to know, To seek and taste no other bliss, No other good below.
