Thou art full of truth and grace.

Freely let me take of thee;
Spring thou up within my heart ;

Whom thine indulgent favors raise
To dwell in those abodes of joy,
And sing thy never-ceasing praise.
8 Happy the men whom strength divine
With ardent love and zeal inspires ;
Whose steps to thy blest way incline,
With willing hearts and warm desires.

Affords more real joy to me,
Than thousands in the tents of state—
The meanest place is bliss with thee.
