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.
