1. I am the Lord's! O joy beyond expression,
  O sweet response to voice of love Divine;
  Faith's joyous "Yes" to the assuring whisper,
  "Fear not! I have redeemed thee; thou art Mine."
2. I am the Lord's! It is the glad confession
  Wherewith the Bride recalls the happy day,
  When love's "I will" accepted Him forever,
  "The Lord's," to love, to honor and obey.
3. I am the Lord's! Yet teach me what it meaneth,
  All it involves of love and loyalty,
  Of holy service, absolute surrender,
  And unreserved obedience unto Thee.
4. I am the Lord's! Yes; body, soul, and spirit,
  O seal them irrecoverably Thine;
  As Thou, Beloved, in Thy grace and fulness
  Forever and forevermore art mine.
