Save, O Save Me

Anonymous (1849) • English

Primary Scripture: Leviticus 19:2

Verse 1

Take my heart, O Father, take it! Make and keep it all Thine own; Let Thy Spirit melt and break it, This proud heart of sin and stone.

Verse 2

Father, make it pure and lowly, Fond of peace and far from strife; Turning from the paths unholy, Of this vain and sinful life.

Verse 3

Ever let Thy race surround me, Strengthen me with pow'r divine; By Thy cords of love that bound me, Make me to be wholly Thine.

Verse 4

May the blood of Jesus heal me, And my sins be all forgiv'n; Holy Spirit, take and seal me, Guide me in the path to heav'n.
