Do we not all from thee receive The dreadful power to seek, or leave? The dreadful power thro' grace I use, And chose of God, my God I chuse: Thee will I seek while life shall last; Ah! Do not from thy presence cast, But now, e'en now be found of me, And let my soul be hid in thee. "Who is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord?" I. Chron. xxix. 5. Lord, in the strength of grace, With a glad heart and free Myself, my residue of days, I consecrate to thee; Thy ransom'd servant I Restore to thee thine own, And from this moment live, or die, To serve my God alone. "The people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly." I. Chron. xxix. 9. The Lord a chearful giver loves; A chearful giver loves the Lord, And while by works his faith he proves, Receives an hundred-fold reward, With joy restores what God had given, Blest with anticipated heaven. "Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel, our Father, for ever and ever. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty." I. Chron. xxix. 10, 11. Blest be our everlasting Lord, Our Father, God, and King, Thy sovereign greatness we record, Thy glorious power we sing;
