Only Thine
I heard the dear Redeemer say,
In tones of love divine,
"I gave myself, O man, for thee,
And wilt thou not be mine?"
I see the Man of Sorrows bow
And die upon the cross;
'Twas all for me, O Lord, I know,
And all thy love confess.
For me he rose and intercedes
Upon his Father's throne;
And lo, his tender mercy pleads
To make me all his own.
And shall my poor divided heart
Cling to the world and thee?
Nay, Lord, take all, and not a part,
All thine I'll ever be.
