Jesus Our Strength

lyricist: Minnie Bateham, 1874
Composer: John Herbert

I am Thine

my bless­èd Lord

Thou hast died for me.

All I have and all I am

Now be­longs to Thee;

Give me of Thy heav’n­ly store

Grace to love and serve Thee more

Let Thy blood

a cleans­ing flood

Make me pure and free.

In Thy love and full­ness wide

All my im­per­fect­ions hide

Ever in my heart abide

All in all to me.

Oft me­thinks I hear Thy voice

I have died for thee;

What has thou to­day

My child

Wrought in love for Me?

Only lit­tle du­ties done

Trials borne and vic­to­ries won

Small to show

yet this I know

They were done for Thee.

Guided ev­er by Thy love

All my way is bright;

Burdens Thou dost send me

Lord

Borne for Thee are light.

While I close­ly cling to Thee

What can harm or hin­der me?

Every day a lit­tle way

Nearer Heav­en and Thee.

So I’ll glad­ly jour­ney on

Toward my heav­en­ly home;

Walking in Thy strength alone

Till the end shall come.

Then when Thy dear face I see

This shall be my on­ly plea:

I have tried—but Thou hast died

Died

dear Lord

for me.

In Thy love and full­ness wide

All my im­per­fect­ions hide

Jesus

Sav­ior

friend and guide

Let me dwell with Thee!
