508. Lord, to Thee I lift my eyes

1 Lord, to Thee I lift my eyes,
Hands and heart I lift to Thee;
Let my prayer accepted rise,
Weak, imperfect, though it be.

2 Teach me, Lord, Thy Name to know;
Teach me, Lord, Thy Name to love;
May I do Thy will below
As Thy will is done above.

3 Saviour God, Thy grace impart,
Give me strength to follow Thee;
Live thyself within my heart
Set my ransomed spirit free.

4 When I go to rest at night,
O'er me watch and near me stay;
And when the morning brings the light,
May I wake to praise and pray.
