My Surrender
(by Gertrude E. Worthington)

I have given up all to my Savior so dear,
And his praises I ever will sing;
And tho' all this world should forsake me while here,
To my Savior I ever will cling.

I've received such great light, and its beams are so bright
That the past of my life's way seems dim;
I will walk in this light by day and by night,
Still closer I cling unto him.

Some think I've done wrong by leaving the throng
Who abide in sectarian strife;
but I've only come back where God's people belong,
From Babel I fled for my life.

I have a good home in the fold of my Lord,
Where his sanctified children all dwell;
I am glad that I heard the truth from his word,
and now with my soul all is well.

Someday when my life and its labors are o'er,
And my sheaves at his I lay down.
I will meet all the saints on that beautiful shore,
and receive a bright glittering crown.

He leads me each day in the heavenly way,
So onward and upward I'll climb;
In the straight, narrow way I'm determined to stay,
Till I leave this old dark world behind.
