Text:	Wholly the Lord's
Author:	Miss P. J. Owens
Tune:	[Living or dying]
Composer:	W. J. Kirkpatrick

1 Living or dying,
Lord, I am Thine;
Singing or sighing,
Thy will be mine;
What future days shall be
Thou must decide for me;
Living or dying,
Lord, I am Thine.

2 Living or dying,
Keep me Thine own;
Thy life imparting,
Thy will make known;
Sweet is Thy labor blest,
Sweet is Thy home of rest;
Living of dying,
Keep me Thine own.

3 Thy love shall measure
Heart-throbs of mine;
My soul shall treasure
Thy word divine;
This is the music sweet
That makes my life complete;
Living or dying,
Lord, I am Thine.
