L.M.

1
Jesus, my Savior! Thou art mine,
 
The Father’s gift of love divine;
 
All Thou hast done, and all Thou art,
 
Are now the portion of my heart.
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21)
“My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.” (Song of Solomon 2:16)
“And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.” (1 John 4:14)
2
Poor, feeble, wretched, as I am,
 
I now can glory in Thy name;
 
Now cleansed in Thy most precious blood
 
And made the righteousness of God.
“But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.” (Psalm 40:17)
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” (Romans 5:6)
“O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” (Romans 7:24)
“Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.” (Psalm 105:3)
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
3
All that Thou hast Thou hast for me,
 
All my fresh springs are hid in Thee;
 
In Thee I live; while I confess
 
I nothing am, yet all possess.
“As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.” (Psalm 87:7)
“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:14)
“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.” (Acts 17:28)
“As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.” (2 Corinthians 6:10)
“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” (John 15:4)
4
O Savior, teach me to abide
 
Close sheltered at Thy wounded side,
 
Each hour receiving "grace on grace,"
 
Until I see Thee face to face.
“And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.” (John 1:16)
“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” (Revelation 22:14)
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” (1 Corinthians 13:12)
