My glorious Victor, Prince divine
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A consecration hymn by Anglican bishop Handley Carr Glyn Moule (1841–1920), expressing total surrender of the will to Christ as Master and Savior. The imagery of the willing bondservant ('pierce this now willing ear once more') draws on the Old Testament law of the devoted servant.
Verse 1
My glorious Victor, Prince divine,
Clasp these surrendered hands in Thine;
At length my will is all Thine own,
Glad vassal of a Saviour's throne.
Verse 2
My Master, lead me to Thy door;
Pierce this now willing ear once more:
Thy bonds are freedom; let me stay
With Thee to toil, endure, obey.
Verse 3
Yes, ear and hand, and thought and will,
Use all in Thy dear slavery still;
Self's weary liberties I cast
Beneath Thy feet; there keep them fast.
Verse 4
Tread them still down; and then I know
These hands shall with Thy gifts o'erflow;
And pierced ears shall hear the tone
Which tells me Thou and I are one.
