1

With my substance I will honorMy Redeemer and my Lord;Were ten thousand worlds my manor,All were nothing to his word.

2

While the heralds of salvationHis abounding grace proclaim,Let his friends, of every station,Gladly join to spread his fame.

3

Be his kingdom now promoted,Let the earth her Monarch know;Be my all to him devoted;To my Lord my all I owe.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «1065» (large) in the right column of p. 365, below stanza 5 of hymn 1064 and «Anon.», with the reference line «162, 130, 277.» in italics beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 162, 130 or 277; the mark after «162» is malformed — see uncertainties). The first word «WITH» is set in capitals and small capitals. «Benjamin Francis» in italics after stanza 3, without a final period. The stanza numbers are printed without a full stop («1 With»); they are numbered «1.»–«3.» here. The print sets a thin space before «;» («Lord ;», «know ;», «devoted ;»); it is closed up here. Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's. No meter is printed (the text is 8s & 7s., like the three tunes of the reference line).
