Being of Beings, God of Love

Being of beings, God of Love,
To Thee our hearts we raise;

Being of beings, God of Love,
To Thee our hearts we raise;
Thy all-sustaining power we prove,
And gladly sing Thy praise.

Thine, wholly Thine, we pant to be;
Our sacrifice receive;
Made, and preserved, and saved by Thee,
To Thee ourselves we give.

Heavenward our every wish aspires:
For all Thy mercy’s store
The sole return Thy love requires
Is, that we ask for more.

For more we ask; we open then
Our hearts to’ embrace Thy will:
Turn, and beget us, Lord, again,
With all Thy fullness fill!

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.
