MAKE MELODY IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD
Hymn 713:
Heav’nly Father I want to be
In Holiness and in truth
But the love of flesh attacks me
Deceiving me everyday.
I am but a feeble creature
In my spirit and body
All my frequent sins committed
Now a burden press’d me down
There is one command in my heart
Which thou inserted in me
For this reason I will follow
Thy love and thy holy laws.
Even if i want to be good
I will stay immediately
Thy word is always good to me
But evil, I do always.
Many times i permit my soul
To Satan for temptation
Even though thy word has
Warn’d me
To depart from all my sins.
Heav’nly Father, to Thee alone
Thou art worthy to save me
Thou my saviour who cares for me
I’ll embrace Thee all my days.
