- 1Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee
- For the bliss Thy love bestows,
- For the pard'ning grace that saves me,
- And the peace that from it flows:
- Help, O God, my weak endeavor;
- This dull soul to rapture raise:
- Thou must light the flame, or never
- Can my love be warmed to praise.
- 2Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,
- Wretched wand'rer, far astray:
- Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
- From the paths of death away;
- Praise, with love's devoutest feeling,
- Him who saw thy guilt-born fear,
- And, the light of hope revealing,
- Bade the blood-stained cross appear.
- 3Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling
- Vainly would my lips express:
- Low before Thy footstool kneeling,
- Deign Thy suppliants' prayer to bless:
- Let Thy grace, my soul's chief treasure,
- Love's pure flames within me raise;
- And, since words can never measure,
- Let my life show forth Thy praise.
