Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained Cross appear. A-men. 3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express; Low before thy footstool kneeling, Deign thy suppliant’s prayer to bless; Let thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure, Love’s pure flame within me raise; And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth thy praise. Amen. Used With Tune: RIPLEY
