Hymn of Humble Praise

Lord, move from heart to mouth pure praise

For Goodness from Your Hand

Help us to trust love’s higher ways

When we don’t understand

Your mercy ushers from mere seed

Harvest; the farmer’s goal

It provides bread for body’s need

But for the sinner’s soul

…You sent Jesus, Your only Son

A pleading sacrifice

Nailed to the cross, for everyone

Perfection paid sin’s price

Then let the earth ring with love’s song

You died in our place

When we are weak; God, You are strong

You fill our need with grace

As far as east is from the west

God, you remove man’s sin

The fathom of your love so vast

Thought cannot take it in

With honor and obedience

You did Your holy part

Pray we with faith and reverence

Believe with wholly heart

Your gift of grace no one can earn

Thus with our gift of days

Let us, in all we do, return

Love’s hymn of humble praise
