Dear Saviour, we are Thine,By everlasting bands;
Our names, our hearts, we would resign,
And souls, into Thy hands.
To Thee we still would cleave,
With ever growing zeal;
If millions tempt us Christ to leave,
O let then ne’er prevail.
Thy Spirit shall unite
Our souls to Thee our Head;
Shall form us to Thy image bright,
That we Thy paths may tread.
Death may our souls divide
From these abodes of clay;
But love shall keep us near Thy side,
Through all the gloomy way.
Since Christ and we are one,
Why should we doubt or fear?
Since He in heaven has fixed His throne,
He’ll fix His members there.
Rev. Philip Doddridge
