Maker, Savior of Mankind

Maker

Sav­ior of man­kind

Who hast on me be­stowed

An im­mor­tal soul

de­signed

To be the house of God:

Come

and now re­side in me

Never

nev­er to re­move;

Make me just and good

like Thee

And full of pow­er and love.

Bid in me Thine im­age rise

A saint

a crea­ture new;

True

and mer­ci­ful

and wise

And pure and hap­py

too;

This Thy pri­mi­tive de­sign

That I should in Thee be blest;

Should with­in Thine arms di­vine

For ev­er

ev­er rest.

Let Thy will in me be done;

Fulfill my heart’s de­sire

Thee to know

and love alone

And rise in rap­tures high­er.

Thee des­cend­ing on a cloud

Till with rav­ished eyes I see;

Then shall I be filled with God

To all eter­ni­ty.
