None of Self and All of Thee

1O, the bitter pain and sorrow,
That a time could ever be,
When I proudly said to Jesus,
“All of self and none of Thee!”
All of self and none of Thee,
All of self and none of Thee,
When I proudly said to Jesus,
“All of self and none of Thee!”

2Yet He found me;
I beheld Him Bleeding on th'accursed tree;
And my wistful heart said faintly,
“Some of self and some of Thee,”
Some of self and some of Thee,
Some of self and some of Thee,
And my wistful heart said faintly,
“Some of self and some of Thee!”

3Day by day His tender mercy,
Healing, helping, full and free,
Brought me lower, while I whispered,
“Less of self and more of Thee,”
Less of self and more of Thee,
Less of self and more of Thee,
Brought me lower, while I whispered,
“Less of self and more of Thee!”

4Higher than the highest heavens,
Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lord,
Thy love at last has conquered,
“None of self and all of Thee,”
None of self and all of Thee,
None of self and all of Thee,
Lord,
Thy love at last has conquered,
“None of self and all of Thee!”
