O not to fill the mouth of fame,

My longing soul is stirred:

But give me a diviner name;

Call me thy servant, Lord!

2 No longer would my soul be known

As uncontrolled and free;

O, not mine own! O, not mine own!

Lord, I belong to thee.

3 Thy servant—me thy servant choose,

Nought of thy claim abate!

The glorious name I would not lose,

Nor change the sweet estate.

4 In life, in death, on earth, in heaven,

This is the name for me;

And be the same dear title given

Through all eternity.
