Unworthy our thanksgiving,
Our service stained with sin,
Except as Thou art living,
Our Priest, to bear it in;
In every act of worship.
In every loving deed,
Our thoughts around Thee centre,
As meeting all our need.
A bond that nought can sever
Has fixed us to the Rock;
Sin put away for ever
From all the Shepherd’s flock.
And, Lord, Thy perfect fitness
To do a kinsman’s part,
The Holy Ghost doth witness,
To each believer’s heart.
As dews that fall on Hermon
Refresh the plains below,
The Spirit’s holy unction
Through Thee to us doth flow.
Ah, then, how good and pleasant,
As one, to live in love,
Forgetting all things present
In hope of joys above.
