Now, O God, thine own I am, Now I give thee back thy own, Freedom, friends, and health, and fame, Consecrate to thee alone; Thine I live, thrice happy I, Happier still, for thine I die. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, One in Three, and Three in One, As by the celestial host, Let thy will on earth be done; Praise by all to thee be given, Glorious Lord of earth and heaven. Hymn CLVI. All glory and praise To the antient of days, Who was born, and was slain to redeem a lost race. Salvation to God, Who carried our load, And purchas'd our lives with the price of his blood. And shall he not have The lives which he gave Such an infinite ransom forever to save. Page 131 Yes, Lord, we are thine, And gladly resign Our souls to be fill'd with the fulness divine. We yield thee thine own, We serve thee alone, Thy will upon earth as in heaven be done. How, when it shall be We cannot foresee; But Oh! Let us live, let us die unto thee! Hymn CLVII. Let him to whom we now belong His sovereign right assert, And take up every thankful song, And every loving heart. He justly claims us for his own Who bought us with a price: The Christian lives to Christ alone To Christ alone he dies. Jesu, thine own at least receive, Fulfil our heart's desire, And let us to thy glory live, And in thy cause expire. Our souls and bodies we resign, With joy we render thee Our all, no longer ours, but thine Thro' all eternity! Page 132 VI. After the Sacrament. Hymn CLVIII. All praise to God above In whom we have believ'd! The tokens of whose dying love We have ev'n now receiv'd, Have with his flesh been fed, And drank his precious blood: His precious blood is drink indeed, His flesh immortal food. O what a taste is this Which now in Christ we know, An earnest of our glorious bliss, Our heaven begun below! When he the table spreads, How royal is the chear! With rapture we lift up our heads, And own that God is here.
