I lift my heart to Thee by Joseph Barnby — Lyrics
I lift my heart to Thee, Saviour divine,
For Thou art all to me, and I am Thine.
Is there on earth a closer bond than this,
That "My Beloved's mine, and I am His?"
To Thee, Thou bleeding Lamb, I all things owe;
All that I have and am, and all I know.

The lyrics express a profound sense of surrender and gratitude, with the singer acknowledging their complete reliance on the divine Saviour and offering all that they have and are. The music’s calm sincerity reflects the text’s heartfelt plea and joyful acceptance of a sacred bond, making it a moving anthem of spiritual commitment.
