A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy ‎#21

21. My Maker and my King!

1 My Maker, and my King!
To thee my all I owe;
Thy sov'reign bounty is the spring,
From whence my blessings flow.

2 Thou ever good and kind!
A thousand reasons move,
A thousand obligations bind
My heart to grateful love.

3 The creature of Thy hand,
On thee alone I live.
My God! thy benefits demand
More praise than tongue can give.

4 O what can I impart
When all was thine before?
Thy love demands a thankful heart:
The gift, alas! how poor!

5 Shall I withhold thy due?
And shall my passions rove?
Lord, make me to thy service true,
And fill me with thy love.

6. O let thy grace inspire
My soul with strength divine;
Let all my pow'rs to thee aspire;
And all my days be thine.
