TO THEE, by                    
First Line: I bring my sins to thee
Last Line: "to thee, my saviour and my king"
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


I bring my sins to Thee,
The sins I cannot count,
That all may cleansed be
In Thy once-opened fount.
I bring them, Saviour, all to Thee;
The burden is too great for me.

My heart to Thee I bring,
The heart I cannot read;
A faithless, wandering thing,
An evil heart indeed.
I bring it, Saviour, now to Thee,
That fixed and faithful it may be.

To Thee I bring my care,
The care I cannot flee;
Thou wilt not only share,
But take it all for me.
O loving Saviour, now to Thee,
I bring the load that wearies me.

I bring my grief to Thee,
The grief I cannot tell;
No words shall needed be,
Thou knowest all so well.
I bring the sorrow laid on me,
O suffering Saviour! all to Thee.

My joys to Thee I bring,
The joys Thy love has given,
That each may be a wing
To lift me nearer heaven.
I bring them, Saviour, all to Thee,
Who hast procured them all for me.

My life I bring to Thee,
I would not be my own;
O Saviour! let me be
Thine ever, Thine alone!
My heart, my life, my all, I bring
To Thee, my Saviour and my King.
