Father, to Thee Thine own we give

Verse 1
Father, to thee thine own we give,
Thy wisdom, power, and goodness praise,
Thy benefits with thanks receive,
And humbly sue for pardning grace,
Thy mercy and thy strength implore
To keep us, that we sin no more.

Verse 2
We pray, but with our lips alone,
’Till thou infuse the pure desire,
’Till thou to flesh convert the stone,
The gracious principle inspire,
The supplicating spirit impart,
And bless us with a praying heart.
