Feeble tho' the praise we bring,
Let thy Spirit touch and tender
Ev'ry heart as now we sing.
2 Heav'n above cannot contain thee;
At thy presence earth would flee;
And tho' ev'ry sin doth pain thee;
Still thy mercy spareth me!
3 Grateful praise my tongue shall offer,
'Neath thy smile or 'neath thy rod;
Take the humble gift I proffer,
Heart, and mind, and strength, O God! Topics: Hymns for Worship Opening Hymns; Hymns for Worship Opening Hymns Used With Tune: RATHBUN
