Lord, Thou art our consecration

Lord

Thou art our consecration

Thou the consecrated One;

Thou hast satisfied the Father—

Consecration thus was done.

When on earth Thou hadst no pleasure

Save to do the Father’s will;

Now Thou livest here within us

Consecration to fulfill.

Lord

we praise Thee for the picture:

Consecration’s ram we see

Burnt for God’s full satisfaction

Eaten and enjoyed to be.

Thou art now our ram

Lord Jesus

Offered for the will of God;

By Thy consecration

faultless

We may walk where Thou hast trod.

As we eat Thyself

Lord Jesus

Consecrated we become;

By Thy wondrous life within us

Thy obedience is our own.

No more need we strive and struggle

Consecrated try to be;

Consecration dwells within us—

Now our part to eat of Thee.

Lord

we praise Thee

consecration

Is nought else but Thee as food:

As we eat Thee and enjoy Thee

We are all made one with God;

One in will and one in purpose

We become by eating Thee:

As we take and eat Thyself

Lord

Consecrated we will be.
