Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #46 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father, to thee my soul I lift;
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 can not 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
Obtained 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. Topics: Attributes of God Independency; The Author of every Good Gift Scripture: Isaiah 26:12
