Lord, we are Thine: our God Thou art

97
					L.M.D.

1	Lord, we are Thine: our God Thou art,
	Fashioned and made we are by Thee;
	These curious frames! in every part
	Thy wisdom, power, and love we see;
	Each breath we draw, each pulse that beats,
	Each organ formed by skill divine,
	Each precious sense aloud repeats,
	Great God, that we are only Thine.

2	Lord, we are Thine: in Thee we live,
	Supported by Thy tender care;
	Thou dost each hourly mercy give;
	Thine earth we tread, we breathe Thine air;
	Raiment and food Thou dost supply;
	Thy sun’s bright rays around us shine:
	Guarded by Thine all-seeing eye,
	We own that we are only Thine.

3	Lord, we are Thine; bought by Thy blood:
	Once the poor guilty slaves of sin;
	Thou didst redeem us to our God,
	And mad’st Thy Spirit dwell within.
	Thou hast our sinful wand’rings borne
	With love and patience all divine:
	As brands, then, from the burning torn
	We own that we are wholly Thine.

4	Lord, we are Thine: Thy claims we own,
	Ourselves to Thee we humbly give;
	Reign Thou within our hearts alone,
	And make us to Thy glory live.
	Here let us each Thy mind display,
	In all Thy brilliant virtues shine;
	And haste that long-expected day
	When Thou shalt own that we are Thine.
