Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #45 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Hymns, Selected and Original Lyrics: 1 Ye humble souls, approach your God
With songs of sacred praise;
For He is good, immensely good,
And kind are all his ways.
2 All nature owns his guardian care;
In him we live and move:
But nobler benefits declare
The wonders of his love.
3 He gave his Son, his only Son,
To ransom rebel worms.
'Tis here he makes his goodness known
In its diviner forms.
4 To this dear refuge, Lord we come,
'Tis here our hope relies;
A save defense, a peaceful home,
When storms of trouble rise.
5 Thine eye beholds with kind regard,
The souls who trust in thee;
Their humble hope thou wilt regard,
With bliss divinely free.
6 Great God,to thy almighty love,
What honours shall we raise?
Not all the raptur'd songs above,
Can render equal praise. Topics: Praise to God for preservation and Redemption
Ye humble souls, approach your God
