And take up every thankful song,
And every loving heart.

2 He justly claims us for His own,
Who bought us with a price;

To Christ alone he dies.

3 Jesus, Thine own at last receive,
Fulfill our hearts' desire;
And let us to Thy glory live,
And in Thy cause expire.

4 Our souls and bodies we resign
With joy we render Thee
Our all, no longer ours, but Thine,
To all eternity.

AMEN.
