I freely that and more resign,

My heart itself, as its delight is thine;

My little all I give to thee,

Thou gav’st a greater gift, Thy Son, to me.

Take all, great God, I will not grieve,

But still will wish that I had still to give;

I hear thy voice, thou bid’st me quit

My paradise; I bless and do submit;

I will not murmur at thy word,

Nor beg thy angel to sheathe up his sword.
