For Thy Sake

[The following poem was found pasted on the fly-leaf of the Bible of the late lamented Dr. Camillus Bush.]
Just as I am, Thine own to be, Friend of the young, who lovest me, To consecrate myself to Thee, O Jesus Christ, I come.
In the glad morning of my day, My life to give, my vows to pay, With no reserve and no delay, With all my heart, I come.
I would live ever in the light; I would work ever for the right; I would serve Thee with all my might; Therefore to Thee I come.
Just as I am, young, strong, and free, To be the best that I can be, For truth and righteousness and Thee, Lord of my life, I come.
With many dreams of fame and gold, Success and joy to make me bold, But dearer still my faith to hold, For my whole life I come.
And for Thy sake to win renown, And then to take my victor's crown, And at Thy feet to cast it down, O Master, Lord, I come.
