LyicsTo thee, my Shepard and my Lord,
A grateful song I raise,
O let the feeblest of thy flock,
Attempt to speak thy praise,
At-tempt to speak thy praise.
But how shall mortal tongues express
But how shall mortal tongues express
A sub-ject so divine?
A sub-ject so-----di-vine?
Do justice to so vast a theme,
Or praise a love like thine?
Or praise a love thine?
My life, my joy, my hope,
I owe to this amazing love;
Ten thousand thousand com-forts here,
And nobler bliss above.
To thee my trembling spirit flies,
With sin and grief oppressed,
To thee my trembling spirit 'flies
With sin and grief op-pressed,-----
Thy gen-tle voice dispels my fears,
And lull my cares to rest,
And lull my cares to rest.
