Composer: | Rev. H. G. Warren |
1 I am the Lord’s! O Joy beyond expression,
O sweet response to voice of love Divine;
Faith’s joyous “Yes” to the assuring whisper,
“Fear not, I have redeem’d thee, thou art Mine.”
2 I am the Lord’s! It hushes ev’ry murmur,
It soothes the fever’d spirit to its rest;
I am the Lord’s! It is the child’s rejoinder,
Who knows and feels the Father’s will is best.
3 I am the Lord’s! It is the glad confession,
Wherewith the Bride recalls the happy day,
When love’s “I will” accepted Him for ever,
“The Lord’s,” to love, to honour and obey.
4 I am the Lord’s! O eagerly and gladly,
Triumphantly and gratefully we sing;
I am the Lord’s! It is the rock unfailing
To which our storm-tossed souls in danger cling.
5 I am the Lord’s! Yet teach me all it meaneth,
All it involves of love and loyalty,
Of holy service, absolute surrender,
And unreserved obedience unto Thee.
6 I am the Lord’s! Yes; body, soul and spirit,—
They’re sealed, and irrecoverably Thine;
As Thou, Belovèd, in Thy grace and fulness
For ever and for evermore art mine.
