And every comfort here, Thee, my most indulgent God, I thank, with heart sincere ; For the blessings numberless, Which thou hast already given ; For thy smallest spark of grace, And for my hope of heaven. 3 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. 4 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. 5 Poor and vile in my own eyes, With self-abasing shame Still I would myself despise. And magnify thy name : For Believers Rejoicing. 237 Thee let every creature bless ; Praise to God alone be given : God alone deserves the praise Of all in earth and heaven.

HYMN 245. 7's §• 6's. 1 /^ OOD thou art, and good thou dost ; ^J Thy mercies reach to all, 2oo For Believers Rejoicing. Chiefly those who on thee trust, And for thy mercy call : New they every morning are ; As fathers when their children cry, Us thou dost in pity spare, And all our wants supply. 2 Mercy o'er thy works presides ; Thy providence display'd Still preserves, and still provides For all thy hands have made ; Keeps, with most distinguished care,
