What Shall I Render to the LORD

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Remnant of Isarel Lyrics: 1 What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me? How shall my life, by grace restored, give worthy thanks, O LORD, to thee? 2 Salvation's cup of blessing now I take and call upon God's name. Before his saints I pay my vow and here my gratitude proclaim. 3 His saints the LORD delights to save; their death is precious in his sight. He has redeemed me from the grave, and in his service I delight. 4 With thankful heart I offer now my gift and call upon God's name. Before his saints I pay my vow and here my gratitude proclaim. 5 Within his house, the house of prayer, I dedicate myself to God. Let all his saints his grace declare and join to sound his praise abroad. Scripture: Psalm 116 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

The One Is Blest

Born of Presbyterian parents, he was converted at a Methodist camp meeting in 1838, being received into full membership in the New Jersey Conference in 1857. Because of ill health he twice took the "supernumerary relations."

He died suddenly after attending a Sunday morning service at Arch Street Church, Philadelphia. Our Hymnody, McCutchan, has, perhaps, the fullest account of him readily available. --Robert G.
