1138  CONSECRATION — Christ as Our Burnt Offering

1. Lord, Thou art our consecration,
  Thou the consecrated One;
  Thou has satisfied the Father—
  Consecration thus was done.
  When on earth Thou hadst no pleasure,
  Save to do the Father's will;
  Now Thou livest here within us,
  Consecration to fulfill.
2. Lord, we praise Thee for the picture:
  Consecration's ram we see,
  Burnt for God's full satisfaction,
  Eaten and enjoyed to be.
  Thou art now our ram, Lord Jesus,
  Offered for the will of God;
  By Thy consecration, faultless,
  We may walk where Thou hast trod.
3. As we Thyself, Lord Jesus,
  Consecrated we become;
  By Thy wondrous life within us,
  Thy obedience is our own.
  No more need we strive and struggle,
  Consecrated try to be;
  Consecration dwells within us—
  Now our part to eat of Thee.
4. Lord, we praise Thee, consecration
  Is nought else but Thee as food:
  As we eat Thee and enjoy Thee,
  We are all made one with God;
  One in will and one in purpose
  We become by eating Thee:
  As we take and eat Thyself, Lord,
  Consecrated we will be.
