Lyrics

I be­long to Je­sus;
I am not my own;
All I have and all I am,
Shall be His alone.

I be­long to Je­sus;
He is Lord and King,
Reigning in my in­most heart,
Over ev­ery­thing.

I be­long to Je­sus;
Blessèd, bless­èd thought!
With His own most pre­cious blood
Has my soul been bought.

I be­long to Je­sus;
He has died for me;
I am His and He is mine,
Through eter­ni­ty.

I be­long to Je­sus;
He will keep my soul,
When the death­ly wa­ters dark
Round about me roll.

I be­long to Je­sus;
And ere long I’ll stand
With my pre­cious Sav­ior there
In the glo­ry land.
