With the sunshine of your goodness melt our thankless hearts of stone till our cold and selfish natures, warmed by you, at length believe that more happy and more blessed 'tis to give than to receive. 3 Wondrous honor you have given to our humblest charity in your own mysterious sentence, "You have done it all for me." Can it be, O gracious Master, that you need what we can do, saying by your poor and needy, "Give as I have giv'n to you"? 4 Lord of glory, you have bought us with your life-blood as the price, never grudging for the lost ones that tremendous sacrifice. Give us faith to trust you boldly, hope, to stay our souls on you; but, oh, best of all your graces, with your love our love renew. Topics: Society Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
