Only one life to offer Jesus,
My Lord and King;
Only one tongue to praise
Thee and of Thy mercy sing;
Only one heart's devotion
Savior, O may it be
Consecrated alone to
The matchless glory,
Yielded fully to Thee.
Only this hour is mine,
Lord may it be used to Thee;
May every passing moment
Count for eternity;
Souls all about me are dying,
Dying in sin and shame;
Help me bring them the
Message of Calvary's redemption
In Thy glorious name.
Only one life to offer
Take it, dear Lord, I pray;
Nothing from Thee withholding,
Thy will I now obey;
Thou who has freely given
Thine all in all for me,
Claim this life for Thine own
To be used, my Savior,
Every moment for Thee.
