1 I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast shown, And I begin to see, What Thou canst be to all Thine own, What they may be to Thee; If only they will yield Thee all, And trustingly obey Thy call.
2 How wonderful! I never knew That I might trust Thee so; That Thou wouldst be so much to me. In all the way I go, That every need Thou wouldst supply. And all my longings satisfy.
3 I take Thee as my keeper now And I commit to Thee My soul, my way, my works, my cause. In Thy sole charge to be; And my deposit, Thou, I know Wilt guard secure from every foe.
4 I take Thee for my peace, O Lord. My heart to keep and fill Thine own great calm, amid earth’s storms Shall keep me always still; And as Thy kingdom doth increase, So shall Thine ever-deep’ning peace.
5 I take Thee as my wisdom too For wisdom’s sum Thou art; Thou, who dost choose the foolish things. Set me henceforth apart, That I may speak and work for Thee As Thou shalt work and speak in me.
6 I take Thee, Lord, to be my all. Since all Thou art is mine; I nothing have, and nothing am; That nothing, Lord, is Thine. Thou shalt be everything to me In all things my sufficiency.
