[V1]
 I yield to Thee, Savior, forsaking my all,
 From sinful things now I will part;
 To Thee I surrender, for mercy I call,
 Come, take the first place in my heart.  

[C]
 Oh, take the first place in my heart,
 Oh, take the first place in my heart;
 I open the door, come in, I implore;
 Lord, take the first place in my heart.  

[V2]
 Oh, come, gentle Spirit, don’t leave me, I pray,
 From Thee I will never depart;
 I come to Thee now, for I cannot delay,
 Lord, take the first place in my heart.  

[V3]
 I cannot be lost, Lord, for Thee I will live,
 Forgiveness, O Savior, impart;
 If I will confess, Thou wilt freely forgive,
 And take the first place in my heart.  

[V4]
 The joybells of heaven will ring in my soul,
 My Savior, Redeemer, Thou art;
 To Thee I surrender, wilt Thou make me whole?
 Take now the first place in my heart.
