I would be, dear Savior, wholly Thine

by F. E. Belden (1858–1945)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 308.

Verse 1

I would be, dear Savior, wholly Thine; Teach; Teach me how, teach me how; I would do Thy will, O Lord, not mine; Help me, help me now.

Refrain

Wholly Thine, wholly Thine, Wholly Thine, this is my vow; Wholly Thine, wholly Thine, Wholly Thine, O Lord, just now.

Verse 2

What is worldly pleasure, wealth, or fame, Without Thee, without Thee? I will leave them all for Thy dear name, This my wealth shall be.

Verse 3

As I cast earth’s transient joys behind, Come Thou near, come Thou near; In Thy presence all in all I find. Tis my comfort here.
