THE OFFERING.
"Ye are not your own; for ye are bought with a price."
1 Cor. vi. 19, 20.
No more my own, Lord Jesus!
Bought with Thy precious Blood,
I give Thee but Thine own, Lord,
That long Thy love withstood.
Bought with Thy precious Blood,
I give Thee but Thine own, Lord,
That long Thy love withstood.
I give the life Thou gavest,
My present, future, past;
My joys, my fears, my sorrows,
My first hope and my last.
My present, future, past;
My joys, my fears, my sorrows,
My first hope and my last.
I give Thee up my weakness
Which oft distrust hath bred,
That Thy indwelling power
May thus be perfected.
Which oft distrust hath bred,
That Thy indwelling power
May thus be perfected.
I give the love the sweetest
Thy goodness grants to me;
Take it, and make it meet, Lord,
For offering to Thee.
Thy goodness grants to me;
Take it, and make it meet, Lord,
For offering to Thee.
