I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast shown,
   And I begin to see,
What Thou canst be to all Thine own,
   What they may be to Thee;
If only they will yield Thee all,
And trustingly obey Thy call.

How wonderful! I never knew
   That I might trust Thee so;
That Thou wouldst be so much to me,
   In all the way I go,
That every need Thou wouldst supply,
And all my longings satisfy.

I take Thee as my keeper now,
   And I commit to Thee
My soul, my way, my works, my cause,
   In hy sole charge to be;
And my deposit, Thou, I know
Wilt guard secure from every foe.

I take Thee for my peace, O Lord,
   My heart to keep and fill,
Thine own great calm, amid earth's storms
   Shall keep me always still;
And as Thy kingdom doth increase,
So shall Thine ever-deep'ning peace.

I take Thee as my wisdom too,
   For wisdom's sum Thou art;
Thou, who dost choose the foolish things,
   Set me henceforth apart,
That I may speak and work for Thee
As Thou shalt work and speak in me.

AI take Thee, Lord, to be my all,
   Since all Thou art is mine.
I nothing have, and nothing am;
   That nothing, Lord, is Thine.
Thou shalt be everything to me,
In all things my sufficiency.
