Servus Dei (453/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

Servus Dei SAVIOUR, to Thee my all I now surrender, Thine, altogether, Thine alone to be; For Thou hast ransomed, purchased, and redeemed me With Thy heart’s blood, upon th’ accursed tree. 2 To pay my debt I see Thee bruised and bleeding, The spotless Lamb, to bear my sin and shame: O Saviour, long have I withstood Thy pleading, Too long withheld from Thee Thy lawful claim. 3 Take all I have, my life, my health, my talents, And consecrate them to Thy service sweet; ‘Twas from Thy hand they came: behold, I lay them, A grateful tribute, at Thy sacred feet. 4 Oh, teach me how to tell the wondrous story Of Thy great love, to sinners far and wide; To live, to speak, to labour for Thy glory, The glory of a Saviour crucified!
