Representative Text

1 No more my own, Lord Jesus,
Bought with Thy precious blood;
I give Thee but Thine own, Lord,
That long Thy love withstood.

Chorus:
Now fashion, form, and fill me
With light and love divine;
So, one with Thee, Lord, Jesus,
I'm Thine, forever Thine.

2 I give the life Thou gavest,
My present, future, past,
My joys, my fears, my sorrows,
My first hope and my last. [Chorus]

3 I give the love, the sweetest
Thy goodness grants to me;
Oh, take and make it meet, Lord,
For offering to Thee. [Chorus]

4 Outside the camp to suffer,
Within the vale to meet;
And hear the softest whisper,
From out the mercy-seat. [Chorus]
