Giver of all
good,
Streams upon streams of love overflow my
path.
Thou
hast made me out of nothing,
hast
recalled me from a far country,
hast translated me from ignorance
to knowledge,
from
darkness to light,
from
death to life,
from
misery to peace,
from
folly to wisdom,
from
error to truth,
from
sin to victory.
Thanks be to thee
for my high and holy calling.
I bless thee for
ministering angels,
for the comfort of thy Word,
for the ordinances of thy church,
for the teaching of thy Spirit,
for thy holy sacraments,
for the communion of saints,
for Christian fellowship,
for the recorded annals of holy
lives,
for examples sweet to allure,
for beacons sad to deter.
Thy will is in all
thy provisions
to enable me to grow in grace,
and to be meet for thy eternal
presence.
My heaven-born faith
gives promise of eternal sight,
my new birth a pledge of
never-ending life.
I draw near to thee,
knowing thou wilt draw near
to me.
I ask of thee,
believing thou hast already given.
I entrust myself to
thee, for thou hast redeemed me.
I bless and adore
thee, the eternal God,
for the comfort of these
thoughts,
the joy of these
hopes.
