Thy sovereign right I own, I seek Thy will and way; All Thy commands to me make known, That I may all obey. 3. Immortal souls to guard Assist me by Thy grace; That I present each one, O Lord, Perfect before Thy face. 4. Thy holy Word my task To love and teach and live, That to inquiring souls that ask, Thy answer I may give. 5. Here, Lord, I humbly bring Both self and class to Thee; Accept the offering, O my King, And keep eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: TEACHER'S DEDICATION HYMN
