1 T^ATHER, to thee my soul I lift ; JL My soul on thee depends, Convinced that every perfect gift From thee alone descends. 2 Mercy and grace are thine alone, And power and wisdom too ; Without the Spirit of thy Son We nothing good can do. 3 We cannot speak one useful word, One holy thought conceive, Unless, in answer to our Lord, Thyself the blessing give. 4 His blood demands the purchased grace His blood's availing plea Obtain 'd the help for all our race, And sends it down to me. 5 Thou all our works in us hast wrought ; Our good is all divine ; The praise of every virtuous thought, And righteous word, is thine. 6 From thee, through Jesus, we receive The power on thee to call, In whom we are, and move, and live ; Our God is all in all ! HYMN 436. s. m. 1 TESU, my Truth, my Way, ** My sure, unerring Light, On thee my feeble steps I stay, Which thou wilt guide aright. 2 My Wisdom and my Guide, My Counsellor thou art ; O never let me leave thy side, Or from thy paths depart ! 410 For Believers Saved. 3 I lift my eyes to thee, Thou gracious, Weeding Lamh, That I may now enlighten'd be, And never put to shame. 4 Never will I remove Out of thy hands my cause ; But rest in thy redeeming love, And hang upon thy cross. 5 Teach me the happy art In all things to depend On thee ; O never, Lord, depart, But love me to the end ! 6 Still stir me up to strive With thee in strength divine ; And every moment, Lord, revive This fainting soul of mine. 7 Persist to save my soul Throughout the fiery hour, Till I am every whit made whole, And show forth all thy power. 8 Through fire and water bring Into the wealthy place ; And teach me the new song to sing, When perfected in grace ! 9 O make me all like thee, Before 1 hence remove ! Settle, confirm, and 'stablish me, And build me up in love. 10 Let me thy witness live, When sin is all destroy'd : And then my spotless soul receive, And take me home to God. For Believers Saved. 411 HYMN 437. l. m.
