1 Not my own, for Thou hast bought me,
By that purchase I am Thine,
‘Tis a human life I offer,
Thou canst make the gift divine.

Chorus:
Not my own! O gracious Master,
Thou hast bought me, I am Thine;
Take my life so frail and human,
Change it by Thy pow’r divine.

2 Not my own! each daily action,
Should be guided by Thy will,
Ev’ry thought by grace illumine,
All Thy plans for me fulfill. [Chorus]

3 Not my own! in humble service
I would spend the passing days;
When the time of toil is ended,
Take me home to sing Thy praise. [Chorus]

4 Not my own! O take and use me
For Thy glory day by day;
Turn my feet from paths forbidden,
Guide in Thy appointed way. [Chorus]
