By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M.
      1 BEING of beings, God of love!
      To thee our hearts we raise;
      Thy all-sustaining power we prove,
      And gladly sing thy praise.

      2 Thine, only thine, we pant to be;
      Our sacrifice receive;
      Made, and preserved, and saved by thee,
      To thee ourselves we give.

      3 Heavenward our every wish aspires;
      For all thy mercies' store,
      The sole return thy love requires
      Is, that we ask for more.

      4 For more we ask; we open then
      Our hearts to embrace thy will;
      Turn, and revive us, Lord, again,
      With all thy fulness fill.

      5 Come, Holy Ghost, the Saviour's love
      Shed in our hearts abroad!
      So shall we ever live, and move,
      And be, with Christ in God.
