Author: C. E. Mudie Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #398 (1913) Lyrics: 1 I lift my heart to Thee, Savior divine,
For Thou art all to me, and I am Thine.
Is there on earth a closer bond than this,
That "My Beloved’s mine, and I am His?"
2 To Thee, Thou bleeding Lamb, I all things owe;
All that I hav, and am, and all I know.
All that I have is now no longer mine,
And I am not mine own;--Lord, I am Thine.
3 How can I, Lord, withhold life’s brightest hour
From Thee; or gathered gold, or any power?
Why should I keep one precious thing from Thee;
When Thou hast given Thine own dear self for me?
4 I pray Thee, Savior, keep me in Thy love,
Until death’s holy sleep shall me remove
To that fair realm, where, sin and sorrow o’er,
Thou and Thine own are one forevermore. Topics: The Church Year Second Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Second Sunday after Trinity; Consecration; Love to God and the Savior; Repentance Tune Title: [I lift my heart to Thee]
