THE OFFERING.
"Ye are not your own; for ye are bought with a price."
1 Cor. vi. 19, 20.
No more my own, Lord Jesus!
Bought with Thy precious Blood,
I give Thee but Thine own, Lord,
That long Thy love withstood.
Bought with Thy precious Blood,
I give Thee but Thine own, Lord,
That long Thy love withstood.
I give the life Thou gavest,
My present, future, past;
My joys, my fears, my sorrows,
My first hope and my last.
My present, future, past;
My joys, my fears, my sorrows,
My first hope and my last.
I give Thee up my weakness
Which oft distrust hath bred,
That Thy indwelling power
May thus be perfected.

I give the love the sweetest
Thy goodness grants to me;
Take it, and make it meet, Lord,
For offering to Thee.
Thy goodness grants to me;
