In full and glad surrender

E443
1
In full and glad surrender,
  I give myself to Thee,
Thine utterly and only
  And evermore to be.
2
O Son of God, who lov’st me,
  I will be Thine alone;
And all I have and am, Lord,
  Shall henceforth be Thine own!
3
Reign over me, Lord Jesus;
  Oh, make my heart Thy throne;
It shall be Thine, dear Savior,
  It shall be Thine alone.
4
Oh, come and reign, Lord Jesus,
  Rule over everything!
And keep me always loyal,
  And true to Thee, my King.

What a deep desire for the Lord and commitment to Him. The author of this hymn often speaks of God’s ruling and reigning in her hymns and she calls Him Master in several of her hymns.

This is a little bit of information I found on the dear sister who wrote this hymn.

Frances Ridley Havergal experienced frequent illness throughout her life, including a near-fatal bout of typhoid fever in 1874. She also suffered from peritonitis, which ultimately led to her death at the age of 42. Her health challenges often interrupted her work and ministry, but she viewed these periods of illness as opportunities for spiritual growth and submission to God's will. Except for a brief period of study in Dusseldorf, Germany, in 1852–53, she lived a sheltered life, residing first with her parents and then with her sisters; she never married.

Lord Jesus, I come to You as nothing so that You might send me out as something.

One day God showed me that I was not fully submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. He gave me this song to show me what full submission is.
