EN 5370 Lord, with Glowing Heart I’d Praise Thee

2Tim.1.6

Versi Version 1

1

Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee,

For the bliss Thy love bestows,

For the pardoning 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.

2

Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,

Wretched wanderer, 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.

3

Praise thy Savior God that drew thee

To that cross, new life to give,

Held a blood sealed pardon to thee,

Bade thee look to Him and live.

Praise the grace whose threats alarmed thee,

Roused thee from thy fatal ease;

Praise the grace whose promise warmed thee,

Praise the grace that whispered peace.

4

Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling

Vainly would my lips express.

Low before Thy footstool kneeling,

Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless:

Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure,

Love’s pure flame within me raise;

And, since words can never measure,

Let my life show forth Thy praise.
