MHB 449  – O LORD, enlarge our scanty thought

Methodist-Hymns-449

1:  O LORD, enlarge our scanty thought
To know the wonders Thou hast wrought;
Unloose our stammering tongues, to tell
Thy love immense, unsearchable.

2:  What are our works but sin and death,
Till Thou Thy quickening Spirit breathe;
Thou giv’st the power Thy grace to move:
O wondrous grace! O boundless love!

3:  How can it be, Thou heavenly King,
That Thou shouldst us to glory bring;
Make slaves the partners of Thy throne,
Decked with a never-fading crown?

4:  Hence our hearts melt, our eyes o’erflow,
Our words are lost; nor will we know,
Nor will we think of aught beside,
My Lord, my Love is crucified!

5:  First-born of many brethren Thou;
To Thee, lo! all our souls we bow;
To Thee our hearts and hands we give:
Thine may we die, Thine may we live!Amen.
