The heart, unchanged, can never rise To happiness and God. 2 Can aught, beneath a power divine, The stubborn will subdue? 'Tis thine, almighty Spirit! thine, To form the heart anew. 3 'Tis thine, the passions to recall, And upward bid them rise; To make the scales of error fall From reason's darkened eyes;-- 4 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live; A beam of heaven, a vital ray, 'Tis thine alone to give. 5 Oh, change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine; Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord! be thine.

Psalm 81

Lyte Hymnal: LD1888 #83 (1888) Tune Title: BARBER First Line: Sing to the Lord, our Might Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord, our Might, With holy fervor sing; Let hearts and instruments unite To praise our heavenly King. 2 This is his sacred house; And this his festal day, When he accepts the humblest vows That we sincerely pay. 3 The Sabbath to our sires In mercy first was given; The Church her Sabbath still requires To speed her on to heaven. 4 And we, like them of old, Are in the wilderness; And God is now as near his fold To pity and to bless. 5 Then let us open wide Our hearts for him to fill; And he that Israel then supplied, Will kept his Israel still.
