I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast shown,

   And I begin to see,

What Thou canst be to all Thine own,

   What they may be to Thee;

If only they will yield Thee all,

And trustingly obey Thy call.

 2 

How wonderful! I never knew

   That I might trust Thee so;

That Thou wouldst be so much to me,

   In all the way I go,

That every need Thou wouldst supply,

And all my longings satisfy.

 3 

I take Thee as my keeper now,

   And I commit to Thee

My soul, my way, my works, my cause,

   In Thy sole charge to be;

And my deposit, Thou, I know

Wilt guard secure from every foe.

 4 

I take Thee for my peace, O Lord,

   My heart to keep and fill,

Thine own great calm, amid earth's storms

   Shall keep me always still;

And as Thy kingdom doth increase,

So shall Thine ever-deep'ning peace.

 5 

I take Thee as my wisdom too,

   For wisdom's sum Thou art;

Thou, who dost choose the foolish things,

   Set me henceforth apart,

That I may speak and work for Thee

As Thou shalt work and speak in me.

 6 

I take Thee, Lord, to be my all,

   Since all Thou art is mine;

I nothing have, and nothing am;

   That nothing, Lord, is Thine.

Thou shalt be everything to me,

In all things my sufficiency.
