My Grateful Praise

 

Oh Lord, most Holy, and gracious King

I’m humbled to tears that You saved me

My gratitude cannot express

The praise that is rightfully due Thee

 

Oh, how often I venture from Thee

How swift are my feet to turn astray!

What shall bind fast my foolish heart

That I no longer from Thee stray?

 

Set my affections on things above

Grant me eyes of faith to see heav’n’s view,

My fleeting life here will soon pass

Then I’ll be in heaven with You.

 

Oh what a joyous reward awaits!

Far better than any crown or gold

To meet my Savior face to face

His wondrous beauty to behold!
