When My Saviour Shall I Be Perfectly

Verse 1

WHEN, my Saviour, shall I be Perfectly resigned to Thee? Poor and vile in my own eyes, Only in Thy wisdom wise:

Verse 2

Only Thee content to know, Ignorant of all below, Only guided by Thy light, Only mighty in Thy might!

Verse 3

So I may Thy Spirit know, Let Him as He listeth blow; Let the manner be unknown, So I may with Thee be one.

Verse 4

Fully in my life express All the heights of holiness, Sweetly let my spirit prove All the depths of humble love.

Background: When My Saviour Shall I Be Perfectly

It seems there might be a slight misunderstanding or a unique phrasing in the hymn title you're recalling. I haven't been able to find a widely known hymn with the exact title "My Saviour Shall I Be Perfectly Hymn." It's possible that: 1. You're remembering a line *from* a hymn, rather than its official title. 2. The title is slightly different. 3. It's a less common or more modern worship song not widely cataloged under that specific phrasing. 4. "Perfectly hymn" is a descriptive phrase you're using to describe the *act* of worshipping your Saviour, rather than part of a hymn's title. However, based on the theme of praising or perfectly hymning your Saviour, I can provide information on several well-known hymns that fit this spirit and involve "My Saviour" or similar sentiments: ---

Possible Interpretations & Closest Hymns: Given the phrase "My Saviour," here are a few prominent hymns that might be what you're thinking of, along with their histories: 1. **"My Savior First of All"** * **Words:** Fanny J. Crosby (Frances Jane Crosby) * **Music:** John R. Sweney * **Date:** 1891 * **History:** Fanny Crosby, one of the most prolific hymn writers in history (despite being blind from infancy), penned these words. The hymn expresses a deep longing for heaven and the joy of meeting Jesus face-to-face. It's a personal declaration of faith and devotion, emphasizing Christ's centrality. John R. Sweney, a prominent gospel hymn composer, provided the music. It was first published in "The Joyful Sound" in 1891. 2. **"I Stand Amazed in the Presence" (often known as "My Savior's Love")** * **Words & Music:** Charles H. Gabriel * **Date:** 1905 * **History:** This beloved gospel hymn was written by Charles H. Gabriel, a prolific American composer of sacred music. The hymn expresses profound wonder and gratitude for Christ's sacrificial love on the cross. The phrase "My Savior's Love" often serves as an alternative title due to its prominent theme and repeated lines. It quickly gained popularity in evangelical circles and remains a staple in many hymnals. 3. **"My Jesus, I Love Thee"** * **Words:** William R. Featherston * **Music:** Adoniram J. Gordon (tune GORDON) or various others * **Date:** c. 1864 (words written) * **History:** William R. Featherston wrote these deeply personal and devotional words when he was only 16 years old in Montreal, Canada. He sent the poem to his aunt, who shared it with others. It was first published around 1864, shortly before Featherston's death at age 27. The simple, heartfelt declaration of love for Jesus resonated widely. While various tunes have been used, the one most commonly associated with it today was composed by Adoniram J. Gordon, a prominent Baptist minister and hymn editor. --- If you can recall any other specific words or phrases from the hymn, or the style of music, I might be able to help you identify it more precisely!
