I lift my heart to Thee

I lift my heart to Thee

Savior Divine

For Thou art all to me

And I am Thine;

Is there on earth a closer bond than this

That my Beloved’s mine

and I am His?

Thine am I by all ties

And chiefly Thine

For through Thy sacrifice

Thou

Lord

art mine;

By Thine own cords of love

so sweetly wound

Around me

closely I to Thee am bound.

To Thee

Thou Bleeding Lamb

I all things owe

All that I have and am

And all I know;

All that I have is now no longer mine

And I am not my own: Lord

I am Thine.

How can I

Lord

withhold

Life’s brightest hour

From Thee; or gathered gold

Or any power?

Why should I keep one precious thing from Thee

When Thou hast given Thine own dear Self for me?

I pray Thee

Savior

keep

Me in Thy love

Until the world Thou sweep

And me remove

To that fair realm

where

sin and sorrow o’er

Thou and Thine own are one for evermore.
