387. Father, Son and Holy Ghost

1 Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
One in Three, and Three in One,
As by the celestial host,
Let Thy will on earth be done:
Praise by all to Thee be giv'n,
Gracious Lord of earth and heav'n.

2 That so poor a worm as I
May to Thy great glory live,
All my actions sanctify,
All my words and thoughts receive:
Claim me, for Thy service claim
All I have, and all I am.

3 Take my soul and body's pow'rs!
Take my mem'ry, mind, and will,
All my goods and all my hours,
All I know and all I feel:
All I think, or speak, or do;
Take my heart, but make it new!

4 Now, O God, Thine own I am;
Now I give Thee back Thine own;
Freedom, friends, and health, and fame,
Consecrate to Thee alone;
Thine I live, thrice happy I!
Happier still if Thine I die.
