AS due by many titles, I resign - ZaunköniG - 28.10.2007 AS due by many titles, I resign Myself to Thee, O God. First I was made By Thee and for Thee ; and, when I was decayed, Thy blood bought that the which before was Thine ; I am Thy sun, made with Thyself to shine, Thy servant whose pains Thou hast still repaid, Thy sheep, Thine image, and, till I betrayed Myself, a temple of Thy Spirit divine. Why doth the devil then usurp on me ? Why doth he steal, nay, ravish that 's Thy right ? Except Thou rise, and for Thine own work fight, Oh ! I shall soon despair, when I do see That Thou lov'st mankind well, yet wilt not choose me, And Satan hates me, yet is loth to lose me. |
