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.
