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.
Can a worm, like me, offer anything of value or pleasure to my blessed God? Yes! Whatever good I have, whatever love I have, and whatsoever praise I can offer to Him, is actually giving back to Him, what He has given to me. I did not originate anything. I cannot boast of myself or of my actions, but I can return the loving gift of Christ that I possess, and the abundant blessings of salvation in Christ that I have experienced, back to my God with an absolute and uncompromising love.
