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 Belovèd’s mine,
and I am His?
Thine am I by all ties;
but chiefly Thine,
That through Thy sacrifice
Thou, Lord, art mine.
By thine own cords of love,
so sweetly wound,
Around me, I to Thee
am closely bound.
To Thee, Thou bleeding Lamb,
I all things owe—
All that I have, 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.
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 giv’n
Thine own dear self for me?
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.
---Alternative verses---
To Thee, Thou dying Lamb,
I all things owe—
All that I have, 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.
