| I gave myself to Jesus | B |
| In my sunny childhood's years | C |
| When on my young unsullied cheek | D |
| There lay no trace of tears | E |
| I little knew what gift I gave | F |
| Nor yet what gift I took | G |
| For life without and life within | H |
| Were each a sealed up book | G |
| - | |
| But soon enough unfolding years | C |
| Brought sorrow toil and pain | I |
| Brought disappointment's burning tears | E |
| And yearnings wild and vain | I |
| And then I learned what precious Gift | J |
| In Jesus I received | K |
| In that still hour of childish trust | L |
| When my young heart believed | K |
| - | |
| 'Twas then I knew what arm unseen | M |
| Was round me 'mid the strife | N |
| The blighted hope the toil uncheered | K |
| The cold rude storms of life | N |
| And when the reeds on which I leaned | K |
| All failed me one by one | O |
| I clasped my pierced and bleeding hands | P |
| And wept but not alone | Q |
| - | |
| For He was near me midst the strife | N |
| And leaning on His arm | R |
| I trod the thorny paths of life | N |
| Safe sheltered from all harm | R |
| The while He whispered to my heart | K |
| I gave my life for thee | S |
| Then heavy laden as thou art | K |
| Cast all thy care on me | S |
| - | |
| On me ON ME oh gentle word | K |
| O Sympathy divine | T |
| O Fount of joy how deeply stirred | K |
| Within this heart of mine | T |
| O cool sweet Waters how ye stilled | K |
| The fever of my brain | I |
| And soothed the heart strings that had thrilled | K |
| With agonizing pain | I |
| - | |
| My own My Rock the heavy tide | K |
| May beat in uproar dread | K |
| Calmly 'gainst its unmoving side | K |
| I rest my weary head | K |
| For well I know how deep it strikes | U |
| Beneath the raging flood | K |
| My Soul's firm Anchor 'mid the strife | N |
| My Refuge and my God | K |
