My dearest Lord, whose changeless love
To me, nor earth nor hell can part;
When shall my feet forget to rove?
Ah! what shall fix this faithless heart?
Why do these cares my soul divide,
If thou indeed hast set me free?
Why am I thus if thou hast died,
If thou hast died to ransom me?
Great God! thy sovereign aid impart,
And guard the gifts thyself hast given;
My portion thou, my treasure art,
An life, and happiness, and heaven.
Would aught with thee my wishes shame,
Though dear as life the idol be,
That idol from my breast I'll tear,
Resolved to seek my all from thee.
Whate’er I fondly counted mine,
To thee, my Lord, I here restore;
I g1adly all for thee resign:
Give me thyself,—I ask no more.
