Author: Rev. John Otis Barrows Hymnal: Songs of the Kingdom #152 (1896) First Line: O Christ, to Thee I live Lyrics: 1 O Christ, to Thee I live,
To Thee I wholly give
Myself away;
The gift how poor and small!
Yet, Lord, I bring Thee all;
Before Thy face I fall;
Accept, I pray.
2 This consecration hour,
By Thy rich grace and power,
My joy shall be;
How sweet it is to know,
Tho’ rough my path below,
In all the way I go
I walk with Thee!
3 Should mighty foes assail,
I can o’er them prevail,
And never fall;
For Thou almighty art
To shield my open heart
From ev’ry fiery dart;
On Thee I call.
4 And when Thou, Lord, dost come
To take me to Thy home,
My spirit free,—
“O death, where is thy sting?”
I shall in triumph sing,
As, borne on angels’ wing,
I rise to Thee. Topics: Consecration Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: [O Christ, to Thee I live]
