Hymn/Song Information

We gave ourselves to Thee O Lord Content




We gave ourselves to thee, O Lord,
Content to be despised,
When we, obedient to thy word,
Believed and were baptized.


Then we avowed that we would die,
Unto the world and sin;
And live for immortality,
And be for ever thine.


Oh, never may our souls forget,
Those solemn joyful days,
Which fill our grateful memory yet,
And prompt our hearts to praise.


Let not those holy joys be lost,
Let not our love expire;
Baptize us in the Holy Ghost,
And in thy promised fire.


Oh, may we burn like flames of fire,
Burn on, for ever burn;
And work for thee and never tire,
And never from thee turn.


And these to be baptized to-day,
Oh, make them good and pure;
May they thy glorious grace display,
And to the end endure.
