Representative Text

1 Lord, if Thou Thy grace impart,

Weaned from all the world besides.

3 Father, fix my soul on Thee;
Every evil let me flee,
Nothing want beneath, above,
Happy in Thy precious love.

4 O that all may seek and find
Every good in Christ combined!
Him let Israel still adore,
Trust Him, praise Him evermore.
