Now fashion, form, and fill me
 With light and love Divine:
So, one with Thee, Lord Jesus,
 I'm Thine—for ever Thine!

PRAISE FOR ALL!

"All things are yours."—1 Cor. iii. 21.

Praise, my soul, the love that sought thee!
Praise the Lord, whose blood hath bought thee!
            Praise for all!

"Ye are Christ's." Can any sever
Christ and thee? Nay! Then for ever
            Praise for all!

Praise for triumph, or for trial,
Prayer swift answered, or denial:
            Praise for all!

Praise for friends, best loved and loving;
And the love in all removing:
            Praise for all!

For the days of health and gladness,
And the nights of weeping sadness:
            Praise for all!
