Father, to thee my soul I lift,
My soul on thee depends;
Convinc'd that ev'ry perfect gift
From thee alone descends.

Mercy and grace are thine alone,
And pow'r, and wisdom too;
Without the Spirit of thy Son
We nothing good can do.

Thou all our works in us hast wrought,
Our good is all divine:
The praise of ev'ry virtuous thought
And righteous word is thine.

From thee, through Jesus, we receive
The pow'r on thee to call;
In whom we are, and move, and live;
Our God is all in all.
