[Thus may I give, when man I praise]

We are bound to thank God always for you, &c. —i. 3.

Thus may I give, when man I praise,
To God the glory of His grace,
Who makes in us His nature known,
And claims our goodness for His own:
And while I thus the saints commend,
O may their hearts with mine ascend,
Ascribing to the Source above
Our all in humble thankful love!
