O THOU! from whom all blessings spring,
My God, my Saviour, and my King!
Enrich my heart with grace divine,
And Nature’s stubborn acts refine;
Enlarge my faith, my will restrain,
Charge home the soul-polluting stain
Of in-bred guilt, and let me feel
That Thou alone hast power to heal.
O wondrous Saviour! whom to know,
Is thine own Heaven begun below,
Cherish the rising spark within,
And quell the force of in-bred sin;
All idols in my heart dethrone,
That God may reignand God alone.
(Maria Frances Cecilia Cowper)
