1. To my almighty Savior's hand
Myself I now resign;
What-e'er I am, possess, or wish,
Was his, before 'twas mine.

2. In perils, pains, in doubts and fears,
He always gave support;
And to his friendly care and aid,
In future I'll resort.

 

3. 'Tis reason, I should praise his name,
Who is my endless friend;
And serve his cause, with love and zeal,
Far as my powers extend.

4. Mortals, behold the power and love
The great Redeemer shows!
To bring you to immortal bliss
And overcome your foes.
