HYMN XXII.
[Thou, my God, art good and wise]
Thou, my God, art good and wise,
And infinite in power:
Thee let all in earth and skies
Eternally adore.
Give me Thy converting grace,
That I may obedient prove,
Serve my Maker all my days,
And my Redeemer love.
And infinite in power:
Thee let all in earth and skies
Eternally adore.
Give me Thy converting grace,
That I may obedient prove,
Serve my Maker all my days,
And my Redeemer love.
For my life, and clothes, and food,
And every comfort here,
Thee, my most indulgent God,
I thank, with heart sincere;
For the blessings numberless,
Which Thou hast already given,
For my smallest spark of grace,
And for my hope of heaven.
And every comfort here,
Thee, my most indulgent God,
I thank, with heart sincere;
391
Which Thou hast already given,
For my smallest spark of grace,
And for my hope of heaven.
Gracious God, my sins forgive,
And Thy good Spirit impart!
Then I shall in Thee believe
With all my loving heart;
Always unto Jesus look,
Him in heavenly glory see,
Who my cause hath undertook,
And ever prays for me.
And Thy good Spirit impart!
Then I shall in Thee believe
With all my loving heart;
Always unto Jesus look,
Him in heavenly glory see,
Who my cause hath undertook,
And ever prays for me.
Grace, in answer to His prayer,
And every grace bestow,
That I may with zealous care
Perform Thy will below;
Rooted in humility,
Still in every state resign'd,
Plant, almighty Lord, in me
A meek and lowly mind.
And every grace bestow,
That I may with zealous care
Perform Thy will below;
Rooted in humility,
Still in every state resign'd,
Plant, almighty Lord, in me
A meek and lowly mind.
Poor and vile in my own eyes,
With self-abasing shame,
Still I would myself despise,
And magnify Thy name:
Thee let every creature bless,
Praise to God alone be given;
God alone deserves the praise
Of all in earth and heaven.
With self-abasing shame,
Still I would myself despise,
And magnify Thy name:
Thee let every creature bless,
Praise to God alone be given;
God alone deserves the praise
Of all in earth and heaven.
