O Lord, I would be Thine,
My all to Thee I give—
My body, spirit, soul—
Do Thou the gift receive.
Refrain
Oh, for the needed grace!
Wilt Thou not give it me?
And lead me day by day
To live by faith in Thee.
My hand, my head, my heart,
I on Thine altar lay;
Oh, use me as Thou wilt,
Employ me every day.
Refrain
Let my whole life be Thine;
In me Thy will be done;
Accept me for Thine own,
Thro’ Jesus Christ, Thy Son.
Refrain
Since Thou hast purchased me,
With precious blood divine,
Thine only I would be,
And be entirely Thine.
