Hymn 689

Father to Thee my soul I lift

Meter: C.M.

1

Father to Thee my soul I lift

My soul on Thee depends

Convic’d that every perfect gift

From Thee alone descends.

2

Mercy and grace are Thine alone

And pow’r and wisdom too

Without the Spirit of Thy Son

We nothing good an do.

3

We cannot speak one useful word

One holy thought conceive

Unless, in answer to our Lord

Thyself the blessing give.

4

His blood demands the purchased grace

His bloods availing plea

Obtain’d the help for all our race

And sends it down to me.

5

Thou all our works in us has wrought

Our good is all divine

The praise of every virtuous thought

And righteous word is Thine.

6

From Thee, through Jesus, we receive

The pow’r on Thee to call

In whom we are, we move, we live

Our God is all in all!
