Methodist-Hymns-341
1: WHEN shall Thy love constrain,
And force me to Thy breast?
When shall my soul return again
To her eternal rest?
2: Thy condescending grace
To me did freely move;
It calls me still to seek Thy face,
And stoops to ask my love.
3: Lord, at Thy feet I fall!
I long to be set free;]
I fain would now obey the call,
And give up all for Thee.
4: To rescue me from woe,
Thou didst with all things part;
Didst lead a suffering life below,
To gain my worthless heart.
5: My worthless heart to gain,
The God of all that breathe
Was found in fashion as a man,
And died a cursed death.
6: And can I yet delay
My little all to give?
To tear my soul from earth away,
For Jesus to receive?
7: Nay, but I yield, I yield!
I can hold out no more,
I sink, by dying love compelled,
And own Thee conqueror.
