52: LORD, we are Thine, bought by Thy blood

52: LORD, we are Thine, bought by Thy blood

by James George Deck (1802-1884)

1 LORD, we are Thine, bought by Thy blood,
Once the poor guilty slaves of sin;
But Thou redeemedst us to God,
And mad'st Thy Spirit dwell within;
Thou hast our sinful wanderings borne
With love and patience all divine;
As brands, then, from the burning torn,
We own that we are wholly Thine.

2 Lord, we are Thine: Thy claims we own,
Ourselves to Thee we'd wholly give.
Reign Thou within our hearts alone,
And let us to Thy glory live;
Here let us each Thy mind display,
In all Thy gracious image shine;
And haste that long-expected day
When Thou shalt own that we are Thine.
