The Body, Lord, Is Ours to Keep

The bo­dy

Lord

is ours to keep

In glow­ing health and strength for Thee

That thro’ its life Thy life may live

Thy will more strong and swift and free.

My bo­dy

Lord

is Thine to keep

Strong and swift and free.

The mind

O Lord

is ours to keep

In clean­li­ness and pur­ity

That ev­ery thought and word and deed

May own it­self akin to Thee.

My mind

O Lord

is Thine to keep

Clean and pure and free.

The soul

O Lord

is ours to keep

In close com­pan­ion­ship with thee

The soul is bo­dy

mind and heart

And these are but a uni­ty!

My soul

O Lord

is Thine to keep

Companion with Thee.
