Lyics

Redeem'd from guilt, redeem'd from fears,

My soul enlarged, and dried my tears,

What can I do, O Love Divine,

What, to repay such gifts as thine?



What can I do, so poor, so weak,

But from thy hands new blessings seek,

A heart to feel thy mercies more,

A soul to know thee, and adore?



O teach me at thy feet to fall,

And yield thee up myself, my all!

Before thy saints my debts to own,

And live and die to thee alone!



Thy Spirit, Lord, at large impart,

Expand and raise and fill my heart!

So may I hope my life shall be

Some faint return, O Lord, to thee.
