To honor and adore Thee, I bring my praise before Thee Through Christ, Thine Only Son. 2 For, 'twas Thy grace that o'er me Kept vigil through the night, And 'twas Thy arm that bore me, Safe through morning light. To Thee my prayer I raise; Werein I did offend Thee, Do Thou forgive; defend me In all my future days. 3 My life, my soul,--defend them! My wife, child goods, and home,-- To Thy hand I commend them, From Thee these blessings come. Thy bounteous hand bestows My household and my treasures, my parents, friends, and pleasures; Through thee my cup o'erflows. 4 God shall do my advising, Whose might with wisdom blends; May He bless rest and rising, My efforts, means and ends! To god, forever blessed, Will I with mine confide me, And suffer Him to guide me As seemeth to Him best. 5 Amen: Lord, Thou wilt hear me With this I close my prayer; In all I do wilt cheer me, And keep me in Thy care. So I put forth my hands, And look not long behind me, But ply the task assigned me By God, as He commands. Languages: English

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Victory Songs #303 (1920) Topics: Devotional Songs Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sovereign die?

And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut His glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died, For man, the creature's sin. 4 But drops of tears can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.
