I am the Lord's! O joy beyond expression,

   O sweet response to voice of love Divine;

Faith's joyous "Yes" to the assuring whisper,

   "Fear not! I have redeemed thee; thou art Mine."

 2 

I am the Lord's! It is the glad confession

   Wherewith the Bride recalls the happy day,

When love's "I will" accepted Him forever,

   "The Lord's," to love, to honor and obey.

 3 

I am the Lord's! Yet teach me all it meaneth,

   All it involves of love and loyalty,

Of holy service, absolute surrender,

   And unreserved obedience unto Thee.

 4 

I am the Lord's! Yes; body, soul, and spirit,

   O seal them irrecoverably Thine;

As Thou, Beloved, in Thy grace and fulness

   Forever and forevermore art mine.
