FABEN 8.7.8.7.D. 111 J. H. WILLCOX, 1849 3 4 Lord, with glow-ing heart I'd praise Thee For the bliss Thy love be For the par- d'ning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows: Help, O God, my weak en-deavor; This dull soul to rap-ture raise: Thou must light the flame,or nev er Can my love be warmed to praise. A-men. Vainly would my lips express: 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, 3 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Him Who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained Cross appear. Deign Thy suppliant's prayer to bless: Let Thy grace, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flame within me raise; And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise. F. S. KEY, 1823 |
