And less beloved than God alone. 3 Oh, for a faith like his, that we The bright example may pursue; May gladly give up all to thee, To whom our more than all is due. 4 Is there a thing than life more dear? A thing from which we cannot part? We can, we now rejoice to tear The idol from our bleeding heart. 5 Jesus, accept our sacrifice; All things for thee we count but loss: Lo! at thy word our idol dies-- Dies on the altar of thy cross. 6 For what to thee, O Lord, we give, A hundred-fold we here obtain; And soon with thee shall all receive, And loss shall be eternal gain. Scripture: Genesis 22:10

Secure within thine arms to lie, And safe beneath thy wings to rest. 4 I have no skill the snare to shun, But thou, O Christ, my wisdom art: I ever into ruin run, But thou art greater than my heart. 5 Foolish, and impotent, and blind, Lead me a way I have not known; Bring me where I my heaven may find-- The heaven of loving thee alone. Scripture: Isaiah 42:16
