Verse 1: I am the Lord's! O joy beyond expression, O sweet response to voice of love Divine; Faith's joyous "Yes" to the assuring whisper, "Fear not! I have redeemed thee; thou art Mine." Verse 2: I am the Lord's! It is the glad confession Wherewith the Bride recalls the happy day, When love's "I will" accepted Him forever, "The Lord's," to love, to honor and obey. Verse 3: I am the Lord's! Yet teach me all it meaneth, All it involves of love and loyalty, Of holy service, absolute surrender, And unreserved obedience unto Thee. Verse 4: I am the Lord's! Yes; body, soul, and spirit, O seal them irrecoverably Thine; As Thou, Beloved, in Thy grace and fulness Forever and forevermore art mine.
