Text: | Thou shalt love the Lord thy God |
Author: | D. Turner |
1 Yes, I would love thee, blessed God!
Paternal goodness marks thy name;
Thy praises thro' thy high abode,
The heavenly hosts with joy proclaim.
2 Freely thou gav'st thy dearest son,
For man to suffer, bleed, and die;
And bid'st me as a wretch undone,
For all I want on him rely.
3 In him thy reconciled face,
With joy unspeakable I see;
And feel thy powerful, wondrous grace
Draw and unite my soul to thee.
4 Whene'er my foolish wandering heart,
Attracted by a creature's power,
Would from this blissful center start
Lord, fix there to stray no more!
