Glorious God, Accept a Heart

Glorious God

ac­cept a heart

That pants to sing Thy praise!

Thou with­out be­gin­ning art

And with­out end of days:

Thou

a Spir­it in­vi­si­ble

Dost to none Thy full­ness show;

None Thy ma­jes­ty can tell

Or all Thy God­head know.

All Thine at­trib­utes we own

Thy wis­dom

pow­er

and might;

Happy in Thy­self alone

In good­ness in­fi­nite

Thou Thy good­ness hast dis­played

On Thine ev­ery work im­pressed;

Lov’st what­e’er Thy hands have made

But man Thou lov’st the best.

Willing Thou that all should know

Thy sav­ing truth

and live

Dost to each

or bliss or woe

With strict­est jus­tice give:

Thou with per­fect right­eous­ness

Renderest ev­ery man his due;

Faithful in Thy pro­mis­es

And in Thy threat­en­ings

too.

Thou art mer­ci­ful to all

Who tru­ly turn to Thee;

Hear me then for par­don call

And show Thy grace to me;

Me

through mer­cy re­con­ciled

Me

for Je­sus’ sake for­giv’n

Me re­ceive

Thy fa­vored child

To sing Thy praise in Heav’n.
