UG 13:7{
Can it be a child as I am
Should to God be set apart!
All for Him, my soul, my body—
All for Him, my inmost heart?
Set apart because He bought me
With His Son's most precious blood;
Set apart because He loved me,
Even I am dear to God.
Chosen out from sin and sorrow
To a holy place of joy—
In His house, a child beloved,
Serving Him, my sweet employ.
Lord, I thank Thee, that Thou givest
Such a wondrous place to me;
In the bosom of the Father,
Separated unto Thee.
As the sweetness of the lily
Growing up 'midst briers wild,
So, amidst earth's sin and folly,
Is to God His ransomed child.
Whiter than the snow untrodden
Is the garment that I wear;
Washed in blood the Lord beholds me;
Pure and spotless sweet and fair.
Blessed thought, when sin would tempt me
From the straight and narrow road,
I am His, and His forever,
I am set apart for God.
Only here to spew His glory,
Only here to tell His love,
And forever to be with Him
In the Father's house above.
