C hrist hath called thee, Christ hath blest,
E verlasting life is thine ;
C losely cleaving, thou shalt rest
I n His glorious love divine.
L et Him teach thee what He will,
I n thee day by day fulfil
All His sweet and blessed will.

H e is come to claim His throne,
A nd thy life is all His own ;
V oices of this passing earth,
E choes of its praise or mirth,
R each not, when the heart hath heard
G olden music of His word.
All for Jesus' henceforth be !

L ive for Him who died for thee.
