Hymn 92: I LIFT my heart to Thee,

Verse 1

I LIFT my heart to Thee,

Saviour divine:

For Thou art all to me,

And I am Thine,

Is there on earth closer bond than

this

That my Beloved’s mine, and I am His?


Verse 2

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.


Verse 3

To Thee, Thou dying 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


Verse 4

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 to me?


Verse 5

I pray Thee, Saviour, keep 

Me in Thy love,

Until death’s holy sleep

Shall me remove

To that fair realm where, sin and 

sorrow o’er 

Thou  and thine own are one for 

evermore.

C. E. Mudie.
