I Give Myself to Thee

Make me what Thou wouldst have me. I bargain
for nothing. I make no terms. I seek for no
previous information whither Thou art taking me.
I will be what Thou wilt make me, and all that
Thou wilt make me. I say not, I will follow
Thee whithersoever Thou goest, for I am weak,
but I give myself to Thee, to lead me any
where.

- John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890),
Parochial Sermons, v. V
