Jesus, Thou dost not sue in vain.
Or ask what I can never give:
Thyself hast placed the power in man
His proffer'd Saviour to receive.
While knocking at the door Thou art.
And criest " My son, give Me thy heart I"
Come in, Thou Supplicant Divine,
I hear Thy voice and open now:
I'ake my poor heart, no longer mine.
Enter with all Thy fulness Thou;
Take my poor heart, ('tis all Thine own.)
And never leave Thy humble throne.
