Previous
Next

​Author:  Johann Kaspar Schade (1666-1698)
​Composer:  Justin Heinrich Knecht, 1795 (1752-1817)​

1. My Lord, an off’ring do I bring;
    My heart I give to Thee.
    I gladly give this heart of mine,
    Which Thou dost ask of me.
 
2. Thou sayest, “Child, give me your heart!”
    O what a sweet request!
    It shows the way that we must take
    To life and peace and rest.
 
3. O now, my Saviour, do Thou take
    My heart and make it Thine;
    I’ll follow Thee, a servant true,
    Within Thy fold divine.
 
4. Enclothed in all Thy righteousness
    And innocence I’d be,
    That I might stand before my God,
    From sin made pure and free.
 
5. O, God, unite my heart with Thee
    And with Thy Spirit bright;
    And for the sake of Thine own Son
    Inflame my heart with light!
 
6. Now grant Thy godly light to me;
    Thy holy love instill!
    May envy, hate, and darkness flee;
    My heart with courage fill!
 
7. O, give my faith its steadfastness
    In Christ, God’s Son, alway,
    That fearless I His name confess,
    Whatever foes may say!
 
8. Grant that in hope I firm may be,
    Humbly and patiently,
    That when all hath forsaken me
    Thy grace my comfort be.
 
9. Lord, let my heart Thy temple be
    The while I sojourn here,
    And then, through all eternity,
    Make it Thy dwelling there.
 
10. I give my heart alone to Thee;
      Use it for Thy design!
      This vain world’s I would never be,
      Dear Lord, but wholly Thine.
 
11. Depart vain world, with all your sin!
      From bondage I am free.
      A humble off’ring do I bring;
      My heart I give to Thee!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
