1  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 what 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.
