English poem
Being joined to CHRIST, and one Spirit with him. 1. Cor. vi. 17
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
My Saviour, I am Thine By everlasting Bands; My Name, my Heart I would resign, My Soul is in thy Hands.
To Thee I still would cleave With ever-growing Zeal; Let Millions tempt me Christ to leave, They never shall prevail.
His Spirit shall unite My Soul to him, my Head; Shall from me to his Image bright, And teach his Path to tread.
Death may my Soul divide From this Abode of Clay; But Love shall keep me near his Side Thro' all the gloomy Way.
Since Christ and we are One, What should remain to fear? If he in Heav'n hath fix'd his Throne, He'll fix his Members there.
