““The proudest heart that ever beat, Hath been subdued in me; The wildest will that ever rose-- To scorn Thy cause or aid Thy foes-- Is quelled, my God, by Thee! Thy will, and not my will, be done; Henceforth I'd be forever Thine; Confessing Thee, the Living Word, My Savior Christ, my God, my Lord, Thy Cross shall be my sign!””
