The Act of Consecration

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

Jesus, Thine own at last receive, Fulfill our hearts' desire; And let us to Thy glory live, And in Thy cause expire.

Verse 4

Our souls and bodies we resign With joy we render Thee Our all, no longer ours, but Thine, To all eternity.

Verse 5

AMEN.
