452. Savior, Who Dying Gave

1 Savior, who dying gave
your love to me,
that all God made me for
might come to be -
I make this solemn vow:
my heart will always bow
when I remember how
you died for me.

2 Give me a faithful heart
guided by you,
that every day may bring
your love to view
through some small kindness done,
some work of love begun,
some thread of justice spun,
some life made new.

3 All that I am and have
is yours alone,
my love for you the fruit
your love has sown.
Not doubt, nor fear, nor wrong,
nor death can still this song:
my gifts of love belong
to you alone.
