Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #489 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own Thy right
To every service I can pay,
And call it my supreme delight
To hear Thy dictates, and obey.
2 What is my being but for Thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end?
'Tis my delight Thy face to see,
And serve the cause of such a Friend.
3 ’Tis to my Saviour I would live,
To Him who for my ransom died;
Nor could untainted Eden give
Such bliss as blossoms at His side.
4 His work my hoary age shall bless,
When youthful vigor is no more;
And my last hour of life confess
His dying love, His saving power.
AMEN. Topics: Consecration Languages: English Tune Title: HOLBORN HILL
