| 1. | Father, Son and Holy Ghost, |
| | One in Three, and Three in One, |
| | As by the celestial host, |
| | Let Thy will on earth be done; |
| | Praise by all to Thee be giv'n, |
| | Glorious Lord of earth and heav'n! |
| 2. | Vilest of the sinful race, |
| | Lo, I answer to Thy call: |
| | Meanest vessel of Thy grace, |
| | Grace divinely free for all; |
| | Lo, I come to do Thy will, |
| | All Thy counsel to fulfil. |
| 3. | If so poor a worm as I, |
| | May to Thy great glory live, |
| | All my actions sanctify, |
| | All my words and thoughts receive; |
| | Claim me for Thy service, claim |
| | All I have, and all I am. |
| 4. | Take my soul and body's powers, |
| | Take my mem'ry, mind, and will; |
| | All my goods and all my hours, |
| | All I know, and all I feel; |
| | All I think, or speak, or do; |
| | Take my heart, but make it new. |
| 5. | Now, O God, Thine own I am, |
| | Now I give Thee back Thine own: |
| | Freedom, friends, and health, and fame, |
| | Consecrate to Thee alone; |
| | Thine I live, thrice happy I; |
| | Happier still when Thine I die. |
