As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 648 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

My glorious Victor, Prince Divine, Clasp these surrendered hands in Thine; At length my will is all Thine own, Glad vassal of a Saviour's throne.

Verse 2

My Master, lead me to Thy door; Pierce this now willing ear once more. Thy bonds are freedom; let me stay With Thee, to toil, endure, obey.

Verse 3

Yes, ear and hand, and thought and will, Use all in Thy dear slavery still! Self's weary liberties I cast Beneath Thy feet; there keep them fast.

Verse 4

Tread them still down; and then I know These hands shall with Thy gifts o'erflow; And pierced ears shall hear the tone Which tells me Thou and I are one.
