Lyrics

With every power, with heart and soul,
I belong to Je­sus!
He shall my every thought control,
I belong to Je­sus!

Refrain

I belong to Je­sus! I belong to Je­sus!
I belong to Je­sus, He belongs to me!

What tho’ temptations sore beset,
I belong to Je­sus!
What tho’ earth’s cares annoy and fret,
I belong to Je­sus!

Refrain

In vain the world my heart allures,
I belong to Je­sus!
In weakness this my soul assures,
I belong to Je­sus!
