Classic Poem

AS ACRAMENTAL Hymn .

I

L ORD , I am thine, entirely thine,
Purchas'd and sav'd by Blood Divine,
With full Consent thine I would be,
And own thy sov'reign Right in me.

II

Here, L ORD , my Flesh, my Soul, my All
I yield to Thee beyond Recal;
Accept thine own so long withheld,
Accept what I so freely yield!

III

Grant one poor Sinner more a Place
Among the Children of thy Grace;
A wretched Sinner lost to God ,
But ransom'd by E MANUEL'S Blood.

IV

Thine would I live, thine would I die,
Be thine thro' all Eternity:
The Vow is past beyond Repeal,
Now will I set the solemn Seal.

V

Be Thou the Witness of my Vow,
Angels and Men attest it too,
That to thy Board I now repair,
And seal the sacred Contract there

VI

Here at that Cross, where flows the Blood
That bought my guilty Soul for God ,
Thee my new Master now I call,
And consecrate to Thee my All;

VII

Do Thou assist a feeble Worm
The great Engagement to perform:
The Grace can full Assistance lend,
And on that Grace I dare depend.
