#singing LET ME DIE (1COR.15:31) 1. O God! My heart doth long for thee, Let me die! Let me die! Now set my soul at liberty, Let me die! Let me die! Die to the trifling things of earth, They’re now to me of little worth; My saviour calls me I’m going forth, Let me die! Let me die! 2. Thy slaying power in me display; Let me die! I must be dead from day to day; Let me die! Dead to the world and its applause, To all its customs, fashions, laws, Of those who hate the trembling cross, Let me die! 3. My friends may say I’ll ruined be If I die! If I leave all and follow thee, But I’ll die! Their arguments will never weigh Nor stand the trying judgment day; Help me to cast them all away. Let me die! 4. Oh, I must die to scoffs and sneers; Let me die! I must be freed from slavish fears; Let me die! So dead that no desire shall rise To appear good, or great, or wise, In any but my saviour’s eyes. Let me die! 5. If Christ would live and reign in me I must die! Like Him I crucified must be, I must die! Lord, drive the nails, nor heed the groans, My flesh may writhe and make its moans, But this the way and this alone I must die! 6. Begin at once to drive the nail; Let me die! O suffer not my heart to fail, Let me die! Jesus, I look to thee for power, T’enable me t’endure the hour When crucified by sovereign power I shall die! 7. When I am dead, then, Lord, to thee I will live! My time, my strength, my all to thee Will I give! Oh, may the Son now make me free, Here, Lord, I give my all to thee For time and all eternity, I will live! 8. The carnal mind once bothered me But it died! He sanctified and made me free So it died! So dead that no desire shall rise To appear good, or great, or wise, In any but my saviour’s eyes, So I live.
