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.
