226 We are the Lord's: His all-sufficient merit,

1 We are the Lord's: His all-sufficient merit, Sealed on the cross to us this grace accords; We are the Lord's, and all things shall inherit; Whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. 2 We are the Lord's: then let us gladly tender Our souls to Him, in deeds, not empty words; Let heart and tongue and life combine to render No doubtful witness that we are the Lord's. 3 We are the Lord's: no darkness brooding o'er us Can make us tremble, whilst this star affords A steady light along the path before us Faith's full assurance that we are the Lord's. 4 We are the Lord's: no evil can befall us In the dead hour of life's fast loosening cords; No pangs of death shall even then appall us; Death we shall vanquish, for we are the Lord's.
