LXXXI. Vital Union to Christ in Regeneration

1 Dear Savior, we are thine,
By everlasting bonds:
Our names, our hearts, we would resign,
Our souls are in thy hands.

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

3 Thy spirit shall unite
Our souls to thee our head:
Shall form in us thy image bright,
That we thy paths may tread.

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

5 Since Christ and we are one,
Why should we doubt or fear?
If he in heaven hath fix'd his throne,
He’ll fix his members there.
