TO Him that form'd this mortal Frame.
And still inspires my Lungs to heave,
From whom my nobler Spirit came,
My Flesh, my Soul, my All I give.
When Heav'n, and Life, and All were lost,
J ESUS redeem'd them, with his Blood;
Great was the Ransom, vast the Cost,
The Blood of an incarnate G OD !
And can my stubborn Heart withstand
The Invitations of His Love!
No; I resign me to His Hand,
And to His lost Embraces move.
Yes, my dear J ESUS , here I give
All that I am and have to Thee;
To Thee I'll die, to Thee I'll live;
No other Lord shall govern me.
Let not a Motion of my Heart,
From Thee once venture to depart;
But bound with lasting Bands of Love,
O! let me, let me ne'er remove.
