Lord, grant my yearning heart's desire That I be filled with fervent zeal, To save poor sinners from the fire, To snatch them from the verge of hell, And turn them to a pard'ning God, To cleanse their souls in Jesus' blood.
I would the precious time redeem, And longer live for this alone, To spend, and to be spent, for them Who have not yet my Saviour known; Fully on these my mission prove, And only breathe, to breathe Thy love.
My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord, Into Thy blessed hands receive; And let me live to preach Thy Word, And only to Thy glory live; My ev'ry sacred moment spend To publish forth the sinners' Friend.
Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart With Thine own boundless love divine! So shall I all my strength exert, And love them with a zeal like Thine; And lead them to Thy open side, The sheep for whom their Shepherd died.
