GRACE after MEAT . I. BEing of Beings , GOD of Love , To Thee our Hearts we raise ; Thy all-sustaining Pow'r we prove , And gladly sing thy Praise . II . Thine , wholly thine we pant to be , Our Sacrifice receive ; Made , and preserv'd , and sav'd by Thee , To Thee Ourselves we give . III . Heav'nward our ev'ry Wish aspires : For all thy Mercy's Store The sole Return thy Love requires , Is that we ask for more . IV . For more we ask , we open then Our Hearts t' embrace thy Will : Turn and beget us , Lord , again , With all thy Fulness fill ! V. Come , Holy Ghost , the Saviour's Love Shed in our Hearts abroad ; So shall we ever live and move , And Be , with CHRIST , in GOD .
