Being of Beings

Being of be­ings

God of love;

To Thee our hearts we raise;

Thy all sus­tain­ing pow­er we prove

And glad­ly sing Thy praise.

Thine

hol­ly Thine

we pant to be;

Our sac­ri­fice re­ceive;

Made

and pre­served

and saved by Thee

To Thee our­selves we give.

Heav’nward our ev­ery wish as­pires

For all Thy mer­cy’s store;

The sole re­turn Thy love re­quires

Is that we ask for more.

For more we ask

we op­en then

Our hearts t’em­brace Thy will:

Turn and re­vive us

Lord

again

With all Thy full­ness fill.

Come

Ho­ly Ghost

the Sav­ior’s love

Shed in our hearts abroad;

So shall we ev­er live

and move

And be

with Christ

in God.
