14731. I Would Be Thine

1 O Lord, I would be Thine,
My all to Thee I give—
My body, spirit, soul—
Do Thou the gift receive.

Refrain:
Oh, for the needed grace!
Wilt Thou not give it me?
And lead me day by day
To live by faith in Thee.

2 My hand, my head, my heart,
I on Thine altar lay;
Oh, use me as Thou wilt,
Employ me every day. [Refrain]

3 Let my whole life be Thine;
In me Thy will be done;
Accept me for Thine own,
Thro’ Jesus Christ, Thy Son. [Refrain]

4 Since Thou hast purchased me,
With precious blood divine,
Thine only I would be,
And be entirely Thine. [Refrain]
