I own His pow’r, His right to rule each day and hour; I own His claim on heart and will, And His demands I would fulfill. 2. He claims my heart, to keep it clean From all defiling taint of sin; He claims my will, that I may prove How swift obedience answers love. 3. He claims my hands for active life In noble deeds and worthy strife; He claims my feet, that in His ways I may walk boldly all my days. 4. He claims my lips, that purest word In all my converse may be heard; My motives, passions, thoughts, that these My inner life, my King may please. 5. He claims the brightness of my youth, My earnest strivings after truth, My joys, my toil, my craftsman’s skill; All have their place, and serve His will. 6. O Lord my king, I turn to Thee; Thy loyal service makes me free; My daily task Thou shalt assign; For heart and will and life are Thine.

The Lord is King! I own his power

Author: Darley Terry (1847-1933) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #867 (1986) Lyrics: 1 The Lord is King! I own his power, His right to rule each day and hour; I own his claim on heart and will, And his demands I would fulfil. 2 He claims my heart, to keep it clean From all defiling taint of sin; He claims my will, that I may prove How swift obedience answers love. 3 He claims my hands for active life In noble deeds and worthy strife; He claims my feet, that in his ways I may walk boldly all my days. 4 He claims my lips, that purest word In all my converse may be heard; My motives, passions, thoughts, that these, My inner life, my King may please. 5 He claims the brightness of my youth, My earnest strivings after truth; My joys, my toil, my craftsman’s skill, All have their place, and serve his will. 6 O Lord, my King, I turn to thee! Thy loyal service makes me free; My daily task thou shalt assign, For heart and will and life are thine. Topics: The young salvationist Youth Languages: English
