Soul, What Return Has God, Thy Savior (EN 3489)

EN 3489 Soul, What Return Has God, Thy Savior

Mark.12.17

Versi Version 1

1

Soul, what return has God, thy Savior,

For all He gives thee day by day?

Oh, hast thou in thy gift a favor

That can delight and please Him?—Say!

The best of off’rings He requires:

Thy heart it is that He desires.

2

Give unto God thy heart’s affection;

Who else can claim thee as His own?

Should Satan hold thee in subjection?

With him but pangs of hell are known.

To Thee alone, O Lord divine,

My heart and all I now resign.

3

Accept the gift which Thou requirest,

My heart and soul, O gracious God,

The first-fruits Thou so much desirest,

For which Thy Son paid with His blood.

To Thee I willingly assign

My heart, dear Lord, for it is Thine.

4

Whom should I give my heart’s affection

But Thee, who gavest Thine to faith?

Thy fervent love is my protection;

Lord, Thou hast loved me unto death.

My heart with Thine shall ever be

One heart throughout eternity.
