Vital Union to Christ

Verse 1

Dear Saviour! we are Thine, By everlasting bands; Our hearts, our souls, we would resign Entirely to Thy hands.

Verse 2

To thee we still would cleave With ever-growing zeal; If millions tempt us Christ to leave, Oh, let them ne’er prevail!

Verse 3

Thy Spirit shall unite Our souls to Thee our Head; Shall form in us Thine image bright, And teach Thy paths to tread.

Verse 4

Death may our souls divide From these abodes of clay; But love shall keep us near Thy side, Thro’ all the gloomy way.

Verse 5

Since Christ and we are one, Why should we doubt or fear? If He in heav’n has fixed His throne, He’ll fix His members there.
