Timeless Truths ‎#665

665. I Am Thine

1 I am Thine dear, blessed Jesus, all Thine,
All of self now to the death I consign;
Gladly, gladly all I have I resign,
That salvation in its fullness be mine.

Refrain:
Glory, glory be to Jesus, I’m saved!
Glory, glory be to Jesus, I’m saved!
’Tis a blessing that my heart long has craved,
Glory, glory be to Jesus, I’m saved!

2 All the riches of this world I forsake,
Every tie that may now bind me I break;
No reserve now to myself will I make,
Though I pass through flaming fire at the stake. [Refrain]

3 I give up all sinful pleasures and mirth,
Everything, yes, that would bind me to earth;
What will all these fleeting pleasures be worth
When the flames of God’s wrath shall break forth? [Refrain]

4 To these vows I ever firm will remain,
Giving all, still, I have all things to gain;
Though by friends I be rejected and slain,
With the King in all His beauty I’ll reign. [Refrain]
