Poem by Augustus Montague Toplady

* * *

Father of love, to thee I bend
My heart, and lift mine eyes;
O let my pray'r and praise ascend
As odours to the skies.

Thy pard'ning voice I come to hear,
To know thee as thou art:
Thy ministers can reach the ear,
But thou must touch the heart.

O stamp me in thy heav'nly mould,
And grant thy word appl'd
May bring forth fruit an hundred fold
And speak me justify'd.

1. Grace, 'Tis a Charming Sound
2. Desiring to Be Given up to God
3. Lord, Let Me Not Thy Courts Depart
4. Holy Ghost! Dispel Our Sadness
5. God of Love
