Lord, Thou art our consecration (Hymn 1138)

Verse 1: Lord, Thou art our consecration, Thou the consecrated One; Thou hast satisfied the Father— Consecration thus was done. When on earth Thou hadst no pleasure, Save to do the Father's will; Now Thou livest here within us, Consecration to fulfill. Verse 2: Lord, we praise Thee for the picture: Consecration's ram we see, Burnt for God's full satisfaction, Eaten and enjoyed to be. Thou art now our ram, Lord Jesus, Offered for the will of God; By Thy consecration, faultless, We may walk where Thou hast trod. Verse 3: As we eat Thyself, Lord Jesus, Consecrated we become; By Thy wondrous life within us, Thy obedience is our own. No more need we strive and struggle, Consecrated try to be; Consecration dwells within us— Now our part to eat of Thee. Verse 4: Lord, we praise Thee, consecration Is nought else but Thee as food: As we eat Thee and enjoy Thee, We are all made one with God; One in will and one in purpose We become by eating Thee: As we take and eat Thyself, Lord, Consecrated we will be.
