Laudes Domini ‎#891

891. "Not your own"

1 Lord of glory! you have bought us,
With your life-blood as the price,
Never grudging, for the lost ones,
That tremendous sacrifice.

2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord! to yield thee
Gladly, freely, of thine own;
With the sunshine of thy goodness,
Melt our thankless hearts of stone.

3 Wondrous honor hast thou given
To our humblest charity,
In thine own mysterious sentence,--
"Ye have done it unto me!"

4 Give us faith to trust thee boldly,
Hope, to stay our souls on thee;
But, oh,--best of all thy graces--
Give us thine own charity.
