| Lord, Thou art our consecration,

|  | 1. | Lord, Thou art our consecration, | 
|  |  | Thou the consecrated One; | 
|  |  | Thou has 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. | 
|  | 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. | 
|  | 3. | As we 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. | 
|  | 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. |
