GOD, what offering shall I give To thee, the Lord of earth and skies? My spirit, soul, and flesh receive, A holy, living sacrifice, Small as it is, 'tis all my store; More should'st thou have, if I had more. 2 Now then, my God, thou hast my soul: No longer mine, but thine I am: Guard thou thine own, possess it whole!
