Hymns on the Lord's Supper, 157

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns on the Lord's Supper (1745) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)

Religion

Let Him to whom we now belong
His sovereign right assert,
And take up every thankful song,
And every loving heart.

He justly claims us for His own
Who bought us with a price:
The Christian lives to Christ alone,
To Christ alone he dies.

Jesu, Thine own at last receive;
Fulfil our heart's desire,
And let us to Thy glory live,
And in Thy cause expire.

Our souls and bodies we resign,
With joy we render Thee
Our all, no longer ours, but Thine
Through all eternity!
VI. After the Sacrament.
