What Can I Give to Jesus

(DEDICATION. 7.6.8.6 D)

What can I give to Jesus,
Who gave himself for me?
How can I show my love for him
Who died on Calvary?

1.

I'll give my heart to Jesus,
In childhood's tender Spring;
I know that he will not despise
So mean an offering.

What can I give to Jesus,
Who gave himself for me?
How can I show my love for him
Who died on Calvary?

2.

I'll give my soul to Jesus,
And calmly, gladly rest,
Its youthful hopes and fond desires
Upon his loving breast.

What can I give to Jesus,
Who gave himself for me?
How can I show my love for him
Who died on Calvary?

3.

I'll give my mind to Jesus,
And seek in thoughtful hours,
His spirits grace to consecrate
Its early op'ning pow'rs.

What can I give to Jesus,
Who gave himself for me?
How can I show my love for him
Who died on Calvary?

4.

I'll give my strength to Jesus,
Of foot, and head, and will,
Run where he sends and ever strive
His pleasure to fulfil.

What can I give to Jesus,
Who gave himself for me?
How can I show my love for him
Who died on Calvary?

5.

I'll give my time to Jesus,
Oh, that each hour might be
Filled up with holy work for him,
Who spent his life for me.

What can I give to Jesus,
Who gave himself for me?
How can I show my love for him
Who died on Calvary?

6.

I'll give my all to Jesus,
'Tis little I possess;
But all I am, and all I have,
Dear Lord, accept and bless.
