 1 

Oh, the bitter shame and sorrow,

That a time could ever be,

When I let the Savior's pity

Plead in vain, and proudly answered,

All of self, and none of Thee,

All of self, and none of Thee.

 
 2 

Yet He found me; I beheld Him

Bleeding on the cursèd tree;

Heard Him pray, Forgive them, Father,

And my wistful heart said faintly,

Some of self, and some of Thee,

Some of self, and some of Thee.

 
 3 

Day by day His tender mercy,

Healing, helping, full and free,

Sweet and strong, and ah! So patient,

Brought me lower while I whispered,

Less of self, and more of Thee,

Less of self, and more of Thee.

 
 4 

Higher than the highest heavens,

Deeper than the deepest sea,

Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered;

Grant me now my heart's petition,

None of self, and all of Thee,

None of self, and all of Thee.
