|
|
<p>Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free.<br>
|
|
Force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be.<br>
|
|
I sink in life’s alarms when by myself I stand;<br>
|
|
Imprison me within Thine arms, and strong shall be my hand.</p>
|
|
<p>My heart is weak and poor until it master find;<br>
|
|
It has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind.<br>
|
|
It cannot freely move till Thou has wrought its chain;<br>
|
|
Enslave it with Thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign.</p>
|
|
<p>My power is faint and low till I have learned to serve;<br>
|
|
It lacks the needed fire to glow, it lacks the breeze to nerve.<br>
|
|
It cannot drive the world until itself be driven;<br>
|
|
Its flag can only be unfurled when Thou shalt breathe from heaven.</p>
|
|
<p>My will is not my own till Thou hast made it Thine;<br>
|
|
If it would reach a monarch’s throne, it must its crown resign.<br>
|
|
It only stands unbent amid the clashing strife,<br>
|
|
When on Thy bosom it has leant, and found in Thee its life.</p>
