Tell me not of earthly pleasures

Tell me not of earthly pleasures

Tempt me not with sordid gain;

Mock me not with earth’s illusions

Vex me not with honors vain.

I am weaned from sinful idols;

I am henceforth not my own;

I have giv’n my heart to Jesus

I belong to Him alone.

I am not my own

I am not my own.

I belong to Jesus

And I am not my own.

Oh

the blessed rest it brings us

To belong to Christ alone;

We can draw on all His fulness

When we’ve nothing of our own.

Blessed Jesus

take me

own me

Make me

keep me wholly Thine.

Deign to find in me Thy portion

While I joy to call Thee mine.

Weary soul

give up the struggle

Cease at length thyself to own;

Give yourself away to Jesus

And belong to Him alone.

Once He gave His all to win thee

Now He asks as much of thee;

All He has He fully gives thee;

Let thy love His portion be.
