LyicsO, not to fill the mouth of fame
My longing soul is stirred:
But give me a diviner name;
Call me thy servant, Lord!
No longer would my soul be known
As uncontrolled and free;
O, not mine own! O, not mine own!
Lord, I belong to thee.
Thy servant--me thy servant choose,
Nought of thy claim abate!
The glorious name I would not lose,
Nor change the sweet estate.
In life, in death, on earth, in heaven,
This is the name for me;
And be the same dear title given
Through all eternity.
