a193. Jesus, whom Thy Church doth own

1 Jesus, whom Thy Church doth own
As her Head and King alone,
Bless me Thy poor member too;
And Thy Spirit's influence give
That to Thee henceforth I live,
Daily Thou my strength renew.

2 Let Thy living Spirit flow
Through Thy members all below,
With its warmth and power divine;
Scatter'd far apart they dwell,
Yet in every land, full well,
Lord, Thou knowest who is Thine.

3 Those who serve Thee I would serve,
Never from their union swerve,
Here I cry before Thy face--
Zion, God give thee good speed,
Christ thy footsteps ever lead,
Make thee steadfast in His ways!
