I am the Lord's! O joy beyond expression,

Lucy Ann Bennett (1850-1927)

4 Verses Christian Hymn Spiritual Song

Verse 1

I am the Lord's! O joy beyond expression, O sweet response to voice of love Divine; Faith's joyous " Yes" to the assuring whisper, " Fear not! I have redeemed thee; thou art Mine."

Verse 2

I am the Lord's! It is the glad confession Wherewith the Bride recalls the happy day, When love's " I will" accepted Him forever, " The Lord's," to love, to honor and obey.

Verse 3

I am the Lord's! Yet teach me all it meaneth, All it involves of love and loyalty, Of holy service, absolute surrender, And unreserved obedience unto Thee.

Verse 4

I am the Lord's! Yes; body, soul, and spirit, O seal them irrecoverably Thine; As Thou, Beloved, in Thy grace and fulness Forever and forevermore art mine.
