1 Dear Saviour, we are thine,
By everlasting bonds;
Our names, our hearts, we would resign,
Our souls are in thy hands.
2 To thee we still would cleave
With ever-growing zeal;
If millions tempt us Christ to leave,
O let them ne’er prevail.
3 Thy Spirit shall unite
Our souls to thee our head;
Shall form in us thy image bright,
And teach thy paths to tread.
4 Death may our souls divide
From these abodes of clay;
But love shall keep us near thy side
Through all the gloomy way.
5 Since Christ and we are one,
Why should we doubt or fear;
If he in heaven hath fix'd His throne,
He’ll fix his members there.
