76*. Thine, Jesus, Thine

4,6,8,8,4.

Thine, Jesus, Thine,
 
No more this heart of mine
 
Shall seek its joy apart from Thee,
 
The world is crucified to me,
 
And I am Thine.
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” (Galatians 6:14)

Thine — Thine alone,
 
My joy, my hope, my crown:
 
Now earthly things may fade and die,
 
They charm my soul no more, for I
 
Am Thine alone.
“And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.” (1 Corinthians 7:31)
“But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.” (Philippians 3:7-8)
3
Thine — ever Thine,
 
Forever to recline
 
On love eternal, fixed and sure — 
 
Yes, I am Thine forevermore — 
 
Lord Jesus, Thine.
“The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” (Jeremiah 31:3)

Then let me live
 
Continual praise to give
 
To Thy dear name, my precious Lord,
 
Henceforth alone beloved, adored;
 
So let me live — 
“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.” (Hebrews 13:15)
5
Till Thou shalt come
 
And bear me to Thy home,
 
Forever freed from earthly care,
 
Eternally Thy love to share — 
 
Lord Jesus, come!
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
