Lyrics

Not my own, but un­to Je­sus,
My Re­deem­er, I be­long,
And for­ev­er and for­ev­er,
This the bur­den of my song.

Refrain

Not my own, O not my own!
I be­long to Christ alone!
With a price my Sav­ior bought me:
I am His, and not my own.

Not my own, but I an ran­somed
By the blood He shed for me;
O the depth of His com­pass­ion,
Deeper than the bound­less sea.

Refrain

Not my own, His truth pr­oclaims it!
Still I hear His voice di­vine
As of old the words re­peat­ing:
I re­deemed thee, thou art Mine!

Refrain

Not my own, for He hath sealed me;
On my heart His pledge I wear—
Blessèd pass­port to His king­dom,
And my glo­ri­ous man­sion there.
