John Wesley (1703-1791)

4 Verses Surrender & Devotion Love & Sacrifice Seeking God's Presence

Verse 1

FONDLY my foolish heart essays To augment the source of perfect bliss, Love's all-sufficient sea to raise With drops of creature happiness.

Verse 2

O Love, thy sovereign aid impart, And guard the gift thyself hast given: My portion thou, my treasure art, And life, and happiness, and heaven.

Verse 3

Would aught on earth my wishes share, Though dear as life the idol be, The idol from my breast I'd tear, Resolved to seek my all in thee.

Verse 4

Whate'er I fondly counted mine, To thee, my Lord, I here restore; Gladly I all for thee resign; Give me thyself, I ask no more.
