Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: Laudes Domini #403 (1890) Topics: Love, and Communion With Christ First Line: Oh, not my own these verdant hills Lyrics: 1 Oh, not my own these verdant hills,
And fruits and flowers, and stream, and wood;
But his who all with glory fills,
Who bought me with his precious blood.
2 Oh, not my own this wondrous frame,
Its curious work, its living soul;
But his who for my ransom came;
Slain for my sake, he claims the whole.
3 Oh, not my own the grace that keeps
My feet from fierce temptations free;
Oh, not my own the thought that leaps,
Adoring, blessed Lord, to thee.
4 Oh, not my own; I'll soar and sing,
When life, with all its toils, is o'er,
And thou thy trembling lamb shalt bring
Safe home, to wander nevermore. Languages: English
