[Since what I lend or give to Thee]

I have lent him to the Lord, as long as he liveth. —i. 28.

Since what I lend or give to Thee,
Was first Thy precious gift to me,

150

In this irrevocable loan,
Father, I render Thee Thine own;
Assured Thou wilt in life's short day
My loan an hundred-fold repay,
And crown me, when Thy Son comes down,
With glorious life's eternal crown.
