What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb,
If I were a wise man
I would do my part, --
Yet what I can I give Him,
Give my heart.
-- Christina G. Rossetti, 1872
"Give me thy heart," says the Saviour of men,
Calling in mercy again and again;
"Turn now from sin, and from evil depart,
Have I not died for thee? give me thy heart."
"Give me thy heart, give me thy heart,"
Hear the soft whisper, wherever thou art:
From this dark world He would draw thee apart;
Speaking so tenderly, "Give me thy heart."
-- Eliza E. Hewitt, 1926
