1 FATHER, into thy hands alone
I have my all restored;
My all thy property I own,
The steward of the Lord.
2 Hereafter none can take away
My life, or goods, or fame;
Ready at thy demand to lay
Them down I always am.
3 Confiding in thy only love,
Through Jesus strengthening me,
I wait thy faithfulness to prove,
And give back all to thee.
4 Take when thou wilt into thy hands,
And as thou wilt require;
Resume by the Chaldean bands,
Or the devouring fire.
5 Determined all thy will to obey,
Thy blessings I restore;
Give, Lord, or take thy gifts away,
I praise thee evermore.
