O God, what offering shall I give
To Thee, the Lord of earth and skies!
My spirit, soul, and flesh receive,
A holy, living sacrifice!
Small as it is, ’tis all my store:
More should’st Thou have, if I had more.

Now then, my God, Thou hast my soul:
No longer mine, but Thine I am:
Guard Thou Thine own, possess it whole!
Cheer it with hope, with love inflame!
Thou hast my spirit: there display
Thy glory to the perfect day.

Thou hast my flesh, Thy hallowed shrine,
Devoted solely to Thy will;
Here let Thy light forever shine:
This house still let Thy presence fill:
O Source of life, live, dwell and move,
In me, till all my life be love!

O never in these vales of shame,
(Sad fruits of sin) my glorying be;
Clothe with salvation, through Thy name,
My soul, and let me put on Thee!
Be living faith my costly dress,
And my best robe, Thy righteousness.

Send down Thy likeness from above,
And let this my adorning be;
Clothe me with wisdom, patience, love,
With lowliness and purity;
Than gold and pearls more precious far,
And brighter than the morning star.

Lord, arm me with Thy Spirit’s might,
Since I am called by Thy great name!
In Thee let all my Thoughts unite,
Of all my works be Thou the aim:
Thy love attend me all my days,
And my sole business be Thy praise.
