Hymn 15.

[God of all good gifts the Donor]

God of all good gifts the Donor,
God, whose mercies never end,
Thee with lips and heart I honour,
Bless Thee for my darling friend,
Thankful at Thy hands receiving,
Ever longing to fulfil
All Thy wise design in giving,
All my Father's welcome will.
If for this the' uniting Spirit
Hath on me his burden laid,
Give me joyfully to bear it,
Him with all my prayers to aid:
Fill my heart with supplication,
Let in me Thy bowels move,
Softness of Divine compassion,
Tenderness of heavenly love.
Sanctify our mutual care,
More and more let it increase,
Strengthen us hereby to share
Every tempted soul's distress:
Stir us up to toil unceasing,
Lay on both the common load,
Make our love a general blessing,
Turn it all to Sion's good.
While with just peculiar kindness
We each other's souls embrace,
Save us from that doting blindness,
Fatal to our fallen race;
From the mean contracting passion
Keep us free, and unconfined,
Raise our generous inclination,
Fix our love on all mankind.

426

As a wide extended river,
Let thy love our hearts o'erflow,
Purest love that lasts for ever,
Reaching every soul below:
Love that doth with free election
Some beyond the rest approve,
Bless us with Thy whole affection,
Special, universal love.
