1. Thine, most gracious Lord,
O make me wholly Thine—
Thine in thought, in word and deed,
For Thou, O Christ, art mine.

Refrain
Wholly Thine, wholly Thine;
Thou hast bought me, I am Thine;
Blessèd Savior, Thou art mine;
Make me wholly Thine.

2. Wholly Thine, my Lord,
To go when Thou dost call;
Thine to yield my very self
In all things, great and small. [Refrain]

3. Wholly Thine, O Lord,
In every passing hour;
Thine in silence, Thine to speak,
As Thou dost grant the power. [Refrain]

4. Wholly Thine, O Lord,
To fashion as Thou wilt,
Strengthen, bless and keep the soul
Which Thou hast saved from guilt. [Refrain]

5. Thine, Lord, wholly Thine,
For ever one with Thee—
Rooted, grounded in Thy love,
Abiding, sure and free. [Refrain]
