Oh, the bitter shame and sorrow,

| 1. | Oh, the bitter shame and sorrow, |
| | That a time could ever be, |
| | When I let the Savior's pity |
| | Plead in vain, and proudly answered, |
| | All of self, and none of Thee, |
| | All of self, and none of Thee. |
| 2. | Yet He found me; I beheld Him |
| | Bleeding on the cursd tree; |
| | Heard Him pray, Forgive them, Father, |
| | And my wistful heart said faintly, |
| | Some of self, and some of Thee, |
| | Some of self, and some of Thee, |
| 3. | Day by day His tender mercy, |
| | Healing, helping, full and free, |
| | Sweet and strong, and ah! so patient, |
| | Brought me lower while I whispered, |
| | Less of self, and more of Thee, |
| | Less of self, and more of Thee. |
| 4. | Higher than the highest heavens, |
| | Deeper than the deepest sea, |
| | Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered; |
| | Grant me now my heart's petition, |
| | None of self, and all of Thee, |
| | None of self, and all of Thee. |
