Enter into my Master's joy,

And find my heaven in thee.

MY

̧¡ (PHIL. i., 22.)'

Y gracious Lord, I own thy right !
To every service I can pay;"
And call it my supreme delight
To hear thy dictates, and obey.
2 What is my being, but for thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end?
Thy ever-smiling face to see,

And serve the cause of such a Friend.

3 I would not breathe for worldly joy,,
Or to increase my worldly good;
Nor future days or powers employ
To spread a sounding name abroad.
4 'Tis to my Saviour I would live ;
To him, who for my ransom died;
Nor could untainted Eden give

Such bliss as blossoms at his side.

1 MASTER, I own thy lawful claim,
Thine, wholly thine, I long to be!

Thou seest, at last, I willing am,
Where'er thou goest, to follow thee!
Myself in all things to deny

Thine, wholly thine, to live and die.

All fulness dwells in thee alone;

Flow back the rivers to the sea,

And let our all be lost in thee!

1 GOD of all-redeeming grace,
By thy pardoning love compell'd,
Up to thee our souls we raise,
Up to thee our bodies yield.

2 Thou our sacrifice receive,
Acceptable through thy Son;
While to thee alone we live,
While we die to thee alone.

3 Meet it is, and just and right,
That we should be wholly thine;
In thine only will delight,

In thy blessed service join.
