Chaplain Charles C. McCabe
(1836-1906)
My body, soul, and spirit,
Jesus, I give to Thee,
A consecrated offering,
Thine evermore to be.
Chorus:
My all is on the altar;
I’m waiting for the fire;
Waiting— waiting— waiting—
I’m waiting for the fire.
O Jesus, mighty Savior!
I trust in Thy great name;
I look for Thy salvation,
Thy promise now I claim.
O let the fire descending
Just now upon my soul,
Consume my humble offering,
And cleanse and make me whole.
I’m Thine, O blessèd Jesus,
Washed by Thy cleansing blood.
Now seal me with Thy Spirit,
A sacrifice to God.
