It is enough now, O Lord, take away my life, 1 Kings 19:4. Divine answer. Mine hour is not yet come, John 11:4.
Here I offer myself, O Lord, to thy own disposal, without exception to work, to suffer, to live, and to die, as thou thinkest fit. Receive me and my household as thy property. Let us be used as instruments in thy hands, to be employed where, how, and to what purpose thou pleasest. I do not desire to have any power over myself; I know it would be only to my great disadvantage and vexation, whereas I can be easy, and may firmly believe, that all will go well with me, and I shall at last be saved eternally, if I am entirely surrendered to thee.
Behold thy waiting servant, Lord,
Devoted to thy fear;
Remember and confirm thy word,
For all my hopes are there,
Hast thou not writ salvation down,
And promised quickening grace?
Doth not my heart address thy throne?
And yet thy love delays.
Mine eyes for thy salvation fail,
O bear thy servant up;
Nor let the scoffing lips prevail,
Who dare approach my hope.
Didst thou not raise my faith, O Lord?
Then let thy truth appear:
Saints shall rejoice in my reward,
And trust as well as fear.
