Hymns for Children, 14
From Hymns for Children (1763) · Osborn ed., vol. 6 (1870)
All power to save, O Lord, is Thine
Receive this ruin'd soul of mine,
Upon Thy mercy cast;
Do with me what, and as Thou wilt,
But throughly purge away my guilt,
And save my soul at last.
What I into Thy hands commend,
Keep, and continue to defend,
In humble faith I pray,
Evil and danger turn aside,
And me, and my companions hide
Against that awful day.
Then, Lord, by Thine almighty power,
Our bodies and our souls restore.
Committed to Thy care
Our hidden life with Christ reveal.
And lift us to Thy heavenly hill,
To see Thy glory there.
