Hymns of Consecration and Faith ‎#87

87. God of all Love and Pity

1 God of all love and pity,
Thy children gently guide;
With heav’nly food supply us,
All needful good provide.

2 By waters still refresh us,
As patiently we wait,
Till Thou, the Fount of brightness,
Our souls illuminate.

3 Our wishes and affections,
Our impulses and pow’rs,
We yield unto Thy guidance;
For they are Thine, not ours.

4 Our spirits we surrender,
Our purposes resign,
To be conformed for ever
Unto the Will Divine.

5 With strong attraction draw us
Unto Thyself alone,
O King of Saints, and bring us
Unto Thy sapphire throne.

6 And till the morning dawneth
For each tired soul’s release,
Sustain us with the brightness
Of Thine own perfect peace.
