CONSECRATION.

By L. E. MILLNE.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”
Low at thy feet, dear Lord, I fall, And consecrate to thee my all; Nothing from thee, would I withhold; O let thine arms around me fold.
All on thy altar, God, I lay, O spurn not my request I pray; But gracious Lord, thyself reveal, And on my heart, O set thy seal.
From secret sins, O set me free, Perfect thine image, Lord in me, Safe in thine arms then I’ll abide Mid earthly woes, what’er betide.
Then will my faith, O Lord, prevail, Though Satan and his hosts assail; While angels bright, my steps attend, Encamp around, and me defend:
Though weary oft, and faint, and weak, Like Noah’s dove, the ark I seek, O nevermore my steps shall rove, While sweet I rest, with Christ my love.
United to the living vine, In thine embrace will I recline, And should I suffer pain or loss, I’ll sing the triumphs of the cross.
Then brighter shall my pathway shine, Lit up by rays of love divine, Joyful I’ll tread the narrow way, Then soon with Christ to endless day.
L. E. MILLNE.
