Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88; Alfred Harold Wood, 1896-1989 Hymnal: Together in Song #563 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let him to whom we now belong
his sovereign right assert,
and take up every thankful song
and every loving heart.
2 He justly claims us for his own,
who bought us with a price:
as Christian live to Christ alone,
to Christ alone we die.
3 We come in deep humility
your easy yoke to prove,
and own it perfect liberty
to serve the Lord we love.
4 Jesus, your own at last receive,
fulfil our hearts’ desire;
and let us to thy glory live
and in thy cause expire.
5 Our souls and bodies we resign;
with joy we render thee
our all, no longer ours, but Thine,
to all eternity.
