I LIFT MY HEART TO THEE

I lift my heart to Thee,

Saviour divine;

For Thou art all to me,

And I am Thine.

Is there on earth a closer bond than this,

That my Beloved's mine, and I am His?

Thine am I by all ties;

But chiefly Thine,

That through Thy sacrifice

Thou, Lord, art mine.

By Thine own cords of love so sweetly

Wound

Around me, I to Thee am closely bound.

To Thee, Thou bleeding Lamb,

I all things owe;

All that I have and am,

And all I know.

All that I have is now no longer mine,

And I am not my own; Lord, I am Thine.

How can I, Lord, withhold

Life's brightest hour

From Thee, or gathered gold,

Or any power?

Why should I keep one precious thing

From Thee,

When Thou hast given Thine own dear

Self for me?
