The Body, Lord, Is Ours to Keep

1 The body, Lord, is ours to keep
In glowing health and strength for thee,
That through its life thy life may life,
Thy will move strong and swift and free;
My body, Lord, is thine to keep,
Strong and swift and free.

2 The mind, O Lord, is ours to keep
In cleanliness and purity,
That every tho't and word and deed
May own itself akin to thee;
My mind, o Lord, is thine to keep,
Clean and pure and free.

3 The soul, O Lord, is ours to keep
In close companionship with thee,
That soul is body, mind and heart,
And these are but a unity;
My soul, O Lord, is thine to keep
In comradeship with thee.

Amen.
