Saviour, thy dying love
Verse 2 Thou gavest me;
May we not wait in selfish sloth, Nor should I aught withhold,
But mingle prayer and work, that both My Lord, from thee;
May trim the shining light;

So from the midnight of their sin My heart fulfil its vow,
May many with us, enter in, Some offering bring thee now, Something for
To banquet in thy sight. 2/3 thee.
Verse 3 Verse 2
We would not come alone, dear Lord, At the blest mercy seat
To thy great feast, and at thy board Pleading for me,
In rapture sit and gaze, My feeble faith looks up, Jesus, to thee:
But bring the lost, the sick, the lone, Help me the cross to bear,
The little ones to be thine own, Thy wondrous love declare, Some song to raise,
And look into they face. 3/3 or prayer, Something for thee.
