1 Lord, I am thine: But thy wilt prove
My faith, my patience, and my love;
When men of spite against me join,
They are the sword. the hand is thine.

2 Their hope and portion lie below;
’Tis all the happiness they know,
’Tis all they seek; they take their shares,
And leave the rest among their heirs.

3 What sinners value, I resign;
LORD, ’tis enough that thou art mine:
I shall behold thy blissful face,
And stand complete in righteousness.

4 This life’s a dream, an empty show;
But the bright world to which I go
Hath joys substantial and sincere;
When shall I wake and find me there?

5 O glorious hour! O blest abode!
I shall be near and like my GOD!
And flesh and sin no more controul
The sacred pleasures of the soul.

6 My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
'Till the last trumpet’s joyful sound;
Then burst the chains in sweet surprise,
And in my Saviour’s image rise.
