Let Me Belong To Thee
Let Me Belong To Thee
So many years, so little gained
So many tears and naught attained
But love for Thee and for our Lord
And though I be still something odd
Unable to give up this life
And yet with all this inner strife
Remember Thee as I take my bread
And wish old vestiges were dead
That I might be what you saw in me
Away from cares and the bodily
Encumbrances that bind my soul,
Blocking my pathway to the goal.
And though I pray through night and day
You change this dull resistant clay
To image the Lord and rest my care
In Him, the Good, the True, the Fair,
The dross accumulate of years
Remove and any lingering fears.
Remould me Mother, hear my plea,
Let me belong, alone to thee.
