Great God, indulge my humble claim

Sacred Hymns (Manchester Hymnal), 51


1. Great God, indulge my humble claim; Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest; The glories that compose Thy name Stand all engaged to make me blest.

2. Thou great and good, Thou just and wise, Thou art my Father and my God, And I am Thine by sacred ties, Thy son, Thy servant, bought with blood.

3. With early feet I love t’ appear, Among Thy Saints, and seek Thy face; Oft have I seen Thy glory there, And felt the power of sovereign grace.

4. I’ll lift my hands, I’ll raise my voice, While I have breath to pray or praise; This work shall make my heart rejoice Throughout the remnants of my days.
