LyicsBlest Savior! Friend divine!
Thou source of boundless love!
The hope of all thy saints on earth,
The joy of all above.
How can I tell thy worth!
How make thy glories known!
No language can thy goodness speak,
No tongue thy mercies own!
My words can not express
The sweetness of thy name!
Nor can my feeble lips declare
The wonders of thy fame!
Then take my trusting heart,
I can not give thee more;
Make rich my soul's deep poverty,
From thine unwasting store!
