The desire of our soul is to thy name and to the remembrance of thee, Isaiah 26:8. My soul followeth hard after thee, Psalms 63:8. Song of Solomon 2:4.
Dost thou give thyself entirely to me, O my heavenly bridegroom: It is but reasonable I should grant thee thy desire also, and give myself entirely up to thee again, that each may have a true delight in the other; here I offer, therefore, all that I have, body, soul, and spirit, with all the faculties and senses belonging to the same, do I subscribe myself for ever to be thy own, if thou wilt be pleased to accept of this my poor and little all.
Infinite pity touched the heart
Of the eternal Son,
Descending from the heavenly court.
He left his Father’s throne.
His living power, and dying love,
Redeemed unhappy men,
And raised the ruins of our race
To life and God again.
To thee, dear Lord, our flesh and soul.
We joyfully resign;
Blessed Jesus take us for thy own,
For we are doubly thine.
Thine honour shall for ever be
The business of our days.
For ever shall our thankful tongues,
Speak thy deserved praise.
