When, my Saviour, shall I be

by Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 250 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

When, my Saviour, shall I be Perfectly resigned to Thee? Poor and vile in my own eyes, Only in thy wisdom wise.

Verse 2

Only thee content to know, Ignorant of all below; Only guided by thy light, Only mighty in thy might?

Verse 3

Fully in my life express All the heights of holiness; Sweetly let my spirit prove All the depths of humble love.
