467--This day the Lord has spoken,

This day the Lord has spoken,

467

	1.	This day the Lord has spoken,
		This day my choice is made:
		I will be all for Jesus,
		Who all for me has paid.
	2.	Now His shall be the empire,
		In all things over me;
		And I will be His bond slave,
		Yet gloriously free.
	3.	From henceforth, owning nothing,
		I cannot lose at all;
		I cannot well be poorer,
		Whatever may be fall.
	4.	Yet could I not be richer,
		If I the world should gain;
		For heav'n and earth shall perish,
		But Jesus will remain.
	5.	And He will be my treasure,
		And He my boundless store;
		And those who live on Jesus,
		Will never hunger more.
	6.	Though I am utter weakness,
		In Him I shall prevail;
		And though my love may falter,
		Yet His will never fail.
