2 As Christ upon the Cross
His head inclined, And to His Father's hands His parting soul resigned,
3 So now herself my soul
Would wholly give Into His sacred charge, In whom all spirits live;
4 So now beneath His eye
Would calmly rest, Without a wish or thought Abiding in the breast, |
5 Save that His will be done,
Whate'er betide — Dead to herself, and dead In Him to all beside.
6 Thus would I live: yet now
Not I, but He, In all His power and love, Henceforth alive in me.
7 One sacred Trinity,
One Lord divine, May I be ever His,
And He for ever mine.
Latin Hymn, 18th Century. Tr. E. Caswall, i^8 |
