HYMN XCIV.
[To God, the Creator of all]
To God, the Creator of all,
My earliest tribute I pay,
On Him with humility call,
And promise His laws to obey:
I promise, alas! but in vain,
Unless He His Spirit bestow
From folly and sin to restrain,
And keep me wherever I go.

And promise His laws to obey:

Unless He His Spirit bestow
From folly and sin to restrain,
And keep me wherever I go.
O Father of mercies attend,
(Though now I in ignorance cry,)
And teach me on Him to depend,
My Advocate there in the sky:
Whatever I ask in the name
Of Jesus, I hear, shall be done,
As due to that innocent Lamb,
As claim'd by Thine heavenly Son.
