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 me shine
All my
homeward way to cheer.
Jesus!
At Thy feet I fall,
Oh, be
Thou my All-in-all,
Jesus, Master, whom I serve,
Though so feebly and so ill,
Strengthen hand and heart and nerve
All Thy bidding to fulfill;
Open Thou mine eyes to see
All the work Thou hast for me.
Lord, Thou needest not, I know,
Service such as I can bring,
Yet I long to prove and show
Full allegiance to my king.
Thou an honour art to me;
Let me be a praise to Thee.
Jesus, Master, wilt Thou use
One who owes Thee more than all?
As Thou wilt! I would not choose;
Only let me hear Thy call.
Jesus, let me always be
In Thy service, glad and free.
