Lord, in the fullness of my might,

by Thomas Hornblower Gill

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 386 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Lord, in the fullness of my might, I would for Thee be strong; While runneth o'er each dear delight To Thee should soar my song.

Verse 2

I would not give the world my heart, And then profess Thy love; I would not feel my strength depart And then Thy service prove.

Verse 3

I would not with swift-winged zeal On the world's errands go; And labor up the heavenly hill With weary feet and slow.

Verse 4

Oh, not for Thee my weak desires, My poorer, baser part! Oh, not for Thee my fading fires, The ashes of my heart!

Verse 5

Oh, choose me in my golden time! In my dear joys have part! For Thee the glory of my prime, The fullness of my heart!
