Father, to Thee My Soul I Lift
"I am the rose of sharon, and the lily of the valleys." - S. Sol 2:1
VERSE 1
Father, to Thee my soul I lift
My soul on Thee depends,
Convinc'd that every perfect gift
From Thee alone descends.
VERSE 2
Mercy and Grace are Thine alone,
And pow'r and wisdom too:
Without the Spirit of Thy Son
We nothing good can do.
VERSE 3
We cannot speak one useful word,
One holy thought conceive,
Unless, in answer to our Lord,
Thyself the blessing give.
VERSE 4
His blood demands the purchased grace;
His blood's availing plea
Obtain'd the help for all our race,
And sends it down to me.
VERSE 5
Thou all our works in us hast wrought;
Our good is all divine;
The praise of every virtuous thought
And righteous word is Thine.
VERSE 6
From Thee, through Jesus, we receive
The pow'r on Thee to call,
In whom we are, and move, and live;
Our God is all in all.
