We Are the Lord’s

We are the Lord’s; His all suf­fi­cient mer­it

Sealed on the cross

to us this grace ac­cords.

We are the Lord’s and all things shall in­her­it;

Whether we live or die

we are the Lord’s.

We are the Lord’s; then let us glad­ly ten­der

Our souls to Him in deeds

not emp­ty words.

Let heart and tongue and life com­bine to ren­der

No doubt­ful wit­ness that we are the Lord’s.

We are the Lord’s; no dark­ness brood­ing o’er us

Can make us trem­ble while this star af­fords

A stea­dy light along the path be­fore us—

Faith’s full as­sur­ance that we are the Lord’s.

We are the Lord’s; no ev­il can be­fall us

In the dread hour of life’s fast loos­en­ing cords;

No pangs of death shall ev­en then ap­pall us.

Death we shall van­quish

for we are the Lord’s.
