Glorious and blessèd God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
You are mine and I am yours,
only by your grace.
Now your will, not mine, be done
in all things, as you determine
and, wherever I may go,
shield me by your grace.
When my life is as I choose:
filled with purpose, rich and peaceful,
or in dark and troubled times
hold me in your grace.
In this pilgrimage of faith
I would seek to serve your glory;
To be known as yours alone,
faithful by your grace.
In this moment, holy Lord,
may I be a sign of heaven;
bringing you my willing heart
- fill it with your grace.
So, no longer mine but yours,
here my life of faith lies open.
Freely bound to serve your cause,
captive to your grace.

This hymn, written to reflect some of the glories of Cornwall, was used for some years at the opening service of the annual Royal Cornwall Show.
The original tune was written by Cornish musician Len Olds.
Written to be used in the Methodist Covenant service.
This is a very unusual metre. Two tunes are available on the United Methodist Church website (see below).
