Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #CCXLIX (1790) Lyrics: 1 Master, I own thy lawful claim;
Thine, wholly thine I long to be;
Thou seest, at last, I willing am,
Where'er thou go'st, to follow thee,
Myself in all things to deny:
Thine, wholly thine, to live and die.
2 Whate'er my sinful flesh requires,
For thee I cheerfully forego;
My covetous and vain desires,
My hopes of happiness below;
My senses' and my passions' food,
And all my thirst for creature-good.
3 Pleasure, and wealth, and praise no more
Shall lead my captive soul astray:
My fond pursuits I all give o'er,
Thee, only thee, resolv'd t' obey;
My own in all things to resign,
And know no other will but thine.
4 All pow'r is thine in earth or heav'n;
All fulness dwells in thee alone;
Whate'er I have was freely giv'n;
Nothing but sin I call my own:
Other propriety disclaim;
Thou only art the great I AM.
5 Wherefore to thee I all resign;
Being thou art, and Love, and Pow'r:
Thy only will be done, not mine!
Thee, Lord, let earth and heav'n adore!
Flow back the rivers to the sea,
And let our all be lost in thee! Topics: For Believers Suffering Languages: English
