Author: Francis S. Key Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 280 hymnals First Line: Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee Lyrics: 1. Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pard'ning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows: Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2. Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wand'rer, far astray: Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away; Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained cross appear. 3. Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express: Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliants' prayer to bless: Let Thy grace, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flames within me raise; And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise.

I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Impris'n me in Thy mighty arms, And strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor Until it master find: It has no spring of action sure - It varies with the wind: It cannot freely move Till Thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with Thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. 3 My pow'r is faint and low Till I have learned to serve, It wants the needed fire to glow, It wants the breeze to nerve; It cannot drive the world Until itself be driv'n; Its flag can only be unfurled When Thou shalt breathe from heav'n. 4 My will is not my own Till Thou hast made it Thine; If it would reach a monarch's throne It must its crown resign: It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leant, And found in Thee its life.
