Being Of Beings

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.

Heav'nward 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 revive us, Lord, again,

With all Thy fullness fill.

Come, Holy Ghost, the Savior's love

Shed in our hearts abroad;

So shall we ever live, and move,

And be, with Christ, in God.
