75. Thanksgiving Hymn for the Afternoon of a Sacrament Day. D. C. M. 1 THOU, God, all glory, honour, power Art worthy to receive; Since all things by Thy power were made, And worthy is the Lamb, all power, Glory and strength; who for our sins 2 All worthy Thou, who hast redeem'd From every nation, every coast, 76. Entreating the Lord's remembrance. C. M. 1 0 THOU, from whom all goodness flows! I lift my heart to Thee; In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, 2 When on my guilty, burden'd heart My pardon speak, new peace impart, 3 Temptations sore obstruct my way, O! give me strength, Lord, as my day, 4 If for thy sake, upon my name, All hail, reproach, and welcome, shame, 5 When in the solemn hour of death, Be this the prayer of my last breath, 77.
