The London Fox Singers - O God, What Offering Shall I Give

O 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 shouldst Thou have, if I had more

Now, O my God, Thou hast my soul
No longer mine, but Thine I am
Guard Thou Thine own possess it whole
Cheer it by hope, with love inflame
Thou hast my spirit there display
Thy glory to the perfect day

Thou hast my flesh Thy hallowed shrine
Devoted solely to Thy will
Here let Thy light forever shine
This house still let Thy presence fill
O Source of Life, live, dwell, and move
In me, till all my life be love

Send down Thy likeness from above
And let this my adorning be
Clothe me with wisdom, patience, love
With lowliness and purity
Than gold and pearls more precious far
And brighter than the morning star

Lord, arm me with Thy Spirit's might
Since I am called by Thy great name
In Thee let all my thoughts unite
Of all my works be Thou the aim
Thy love attend me all my days
And my sole business be Thy praise
