Oh, to be Kept for Jesus!
Kept, by the power of God;
Kept from the world unspotted,
Treading where Jesus trod.
Refrain
Oh, to be Kept for Jesus!
Lord, at Thy feet I fall;
I would be nothing, nothing, nothing
;
Thou shall be all in all.
Oh, to be Kept for Jesus!
Serving as He shall choose;
Kept
for the Master’s pleasure;
Kept
; for the Master’s use.
Refrain
Oh, to be Kept for Jesus!
Kept from the world apart;
Lowly in mind and spirit,
Gentle and pure in heart.
Refrain
Oh, to be Kept for Jesus!
Oh, to be all His own;
Kept, to be His forever,
Kept, to be His alone!
