frankincense to God disclose,
gold the King of kings proclaiming,
myrrh his sepulcher foreshows.

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.

Hither by Thy help, I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
3 Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious Blood.
4 O, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.

Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart; O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

Of the vain world’s golden store,
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, "Christian, love Me more."

Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love Me more than these."

Savior, make us hear Thy call;
Give our hearts to Thine obedience,
Serve and love Thee best of all.

Join to crave Thy favor now.

Oft have cheered us on our way:
By Thy power and grace unceasing,

Thankful lays; and, while we sing,
Vow a pure, a full devotion
To Thy work, O Savior king.
4 When we tell the wondrous story
Of Thy rich, exhaustless love,
Send Thy Spirit, Lord of glory,
On the youthful heart to move.
Oh, that He, the ever-living,
May descend as fruitful rain;
Till the wilderness, reviving,
Blossom as the rose again.
Then, may they, whom we have guided
Life’s tempestuous ocean o’er,
In the home Thou hast provided,
Meet us, to depart no more.
5 There, beside the crystal river,
Flowing from the eternal throne,
Shall arise to Thee, forever,
Praise more sweet than earth has known.
