Whose I am

Jesus, Master, whose I am,
Purchased Thine alone to be,
By Thy blood, O spotless Lamb,
Shed so willingly for me;
Let my heart be all Thine own,
Let me live to Thee alone.

Other lords have long held sway;
Now, Thy name alone to bear,
Thy dear voice alone obey,
Is my daily, hourly prayer.
Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
Nothing else my joy can be.


Jesus Master! I am Thine;
Keep me faithful, keep me near;
Let Thy presence in my shine
All my homeward way to cheer.
Jesus! At Thy feet I fall,
Oh, be Thou my All-in-all.
