But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. (I Corinthians 6:17-20)

Listen to the hymn melody |
Sealed on the cross, to us this grace accords.
We are the Lord’s and all things shall inherit;
Whether we live or we die, we are the Lord’s.
We are the Lord’s; then let us gladly tender
Our souls to Him in deeds, not empty words.
Let heart and tongue and life combine to render
No doubtful witness that we are the Lord’s.
We are the Lord’s; no darkness brooding o’er us
Can make us tremble while this star affords
A steady light along the path before us —
Faith’s full assurance that we are the Lord’s.
We are the Lord’s; no evil can befall us
In the dread hour of life’s fast loosening cords;
No pangs of death shall even then appall us.
Death we shall vanquish, for we are the Lord’s.
