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! |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

Not a bad hymn of Wesley's! Encouraging.

Holy Ghost?
In my opinion, this hymn need to edify this word 'Ghost'. Brothers in the Lord's recovery all do know what I say.
