Christ My Song - 2473

Lord, is not all from thee?
(Augustus M. Toplady/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Lord, is not all from thee?

I know, that is in my flesh dwelleth no good thing.

1. Lord, is not all from thee?
  Is not all fullness thine?
Whate'er of good there is in me,
  O Lord, is none of mine. PDF - Midi

2. Each holy tendency
  did not thy mercy give?
And what, O Saviour, what have I
  that I did not receive?

3. I cannot speak a word
  or think a thought that's good,
but what proceedeth from the Lord,
  and cometh forth from God.

4. Jesus, I know full well
  what my best actions be;
they'd sink my guilty soul to hell,
  if unrefined by thee.

5. Myself and all I do
  O sprinkle with thy blood;
renew me, Saviour, ere I go
  to stand before my God.

6. I, of myself, have nought
  that can his justice please;
not one right word, nor act, nor thought
  but what I owe to grace.

7. O make my guilty heart
  completely pure within;
Author of holiness thou art,
  and Finisher of sin:

8. cut short its reign in me,
  who only canst subdue;
and give me all thy grace to see,
  created here anew.

Augustus M. Toplady, Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1860, 39- 40.
