39A. How can we sink with such a prop?

1 How can we sink with such a prop
As the eternal God,
Who bears the earth's hug pillars up
And spreads the heavens abroad?

2 How can we die if Jesus live,
As risen from the dead,
Since life and grace our souls receive
In our exalted Head?

3 All that we are, and all we have,
Shall be forever Thine;
And all a cheerful heart could give,
Our willing hands resign.

4 And could we ye yet make some reserve,
And duty did not call,
We love Thee, Lord, with such a love,
That we would give Thee all.
