I give my heart to Thee,

by Ray Palmer

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 285 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

I give my heart to Thee, O Jesus most desired; And heart for heart the gift shall be, For Thou my soul hast fired.

Verse 2

Thou hearts alone wouldst move, Thou only hearts dost love; I would love Thee as Thou lovest me, O Jesus most desired.

Verse 3

What offering can I make, Dear Lord, to love like Thine — That Thou, the Word, didst stoop to take A human form like mine?

Verse 4

Thy heart is opened wide, Its offered love most free, That heart to heart I may abide, And hide myself in Thee.

Verse 5

Ah, how Thy love doth burn, Till I that love return! I would love Thee as Thou lovest me, O Jesus most desired.
