Text Based On Hebrews Chapter 12 (KJV)
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

FATHER, I YIELD TO THEE

1.   Father, I yield to Thee my life, Thine only shall it be; From sordid pleasures, sin, and strife, I turn, O Lord, to Thee. Unfettered from all earthly ties, From cruel change and scorn, I haste to Thee, where shadows flee- Before the cloudless morn.

2.   Father, to Thee I yield my love, Its flickering flame is Thine. Clothe with the lustre of Thy love- Each wandering beam of mine. From foes and friends which ever fail, O’re storm swept seas I find- Within the haven of Thine arms- A love most wonderous kind.

3.   Father, to Thee I yield my will, I would submissive be; Content to lean upon Thy breast- And hear Thee speak to me. Grant me a heart in tune with Thine- To see as Thou dost see, That each desire, each word, and thought- May breath, dear Lord, of Thee

4.   Father, to Thee I yield my all, My wanderings are o’re. Earth’s fleeting pleasures cease to call, They shall deceive no more. My doubts and tears lie all behind, Eternal bliss before; Lost in Thy love and wholly Thine- I’ll rest for ever more.
