Worldly affairs encumbered me; till the Lord said, “Come, follow Me!”
I was exhausted, faltering; still He called and would not leave me be;
At once, when I responded: “Yes!”, He shined His glad’ning ray!
Glory, rest, shouts of praise fill all my days as I follow on His way.

Though in this world a way exists
Filled with crowds with greatness obsessed;
My heart already is possessed, let those who would take it try their best;
Lord, I’ve been sanctified by Thee, For God alone I’m meant,
My all is in Your sovereign hand, all for the new way to be spent.

No man can serve two masters, from God and the world seek reward,
Whether ’tis spent or whether reserved, ointment can but once be outpoured;
Lord, You’re my only one true love, I’d ne’er repent nor swerve.
Lord, You alone are worthy of all my life and all my love.

Lord, You alone are worthy of all my life and all my love.
Upon this altar of consecration, supply the flame; refine me, I pray;
Lord, You chose me, ’twas mercy and grace; Gladly I choose Thee, to repay.
The days of this life don’t seem that special, but the earth to heaven they join;
In Your smile’s delight, I fix my sight, running towards th’ eternal crown.
