Romans 12:1: Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)

Religion

Wuart victims doth our God demand?
Not thoughtless beasts, or bodies slain:
Ourselves before Thine altar stand,
The reasoning souls of living men;
Our bodies too, through Christ Thy Son,
An holy sacrifice we give,
And serve, and please our God alone,
And only for Thy glory live.
