Wholly Thine
Verse 1
I would be, dear Savior, wholly Thine;
Teach me how, teach me how;
I would do Thy will, O Lord, not mine;
Help me, help me now.
Teach me how, teach me how;
I would do Thy will, O Lord, not mine;
Help me, help me now.
Refrain
Wholly Thine, wholly Thine,
Wholly Thine, this is my vow;
Wholly Thine, wholly Thine,
Wholly Thine, O Lord, just now.
Wholly Thine, this is my vow;
Wholly Thine, wholly Thine,
Wholly Thine, O Lord, just now.
Verse 2
What is worldly pleasure, wealth, or fame,
Without Thee, without Thee?
I will leave them all for Thy dear name,
This my wealth shall be.
Without Thee, without Thee?
I will leave them all for Thy dear name,
This my wealth shall be.
Verse 3
As I cast earth's transient joys behind,
Come Thou near, come Thou near;
In Thy presence all in all I find,
'Tis my comfort here.
Come Thou near, come Thou near;
In Thy presence all in all I find,
'Tis my comfort here.
Havergal's hymn expresses complete dedication to God, reflecting her personal theology of consecration.
