[My God, thy boundless love I praise]
I Am A Little Child, 'Tis True
Author: Randall H. Ballantyne Meter: 8.6.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I am a little child, ’tis true Lyrics: 1 I am a little child, ’tis true,
Yet something surely I may do
To make the Savior known;
In love He has redeemed my soul,
He found me sick, He made me whole,
And sealed me for His own.
2 And can I see the heathen die,
And use no means to bring them nigh,
Nor Gospel message send?
Can I enjoy my Father’s smile,
And never think that, all the while,
They have no Savior friend?
3 Ah no! this would not be like Him
Who died all nations to redeem;
And who has bid us pray,
That all may know the love of God,
And all be washed in Jesus’ blood,
Which takes their sins away.
4 And though I’ve little to bestow,
Yet given willingly, I know
The little I can send,
Will be as pleasing in His sight,
As was the poor old widow’s mite,
Which Jesus did commend.
5 Then let me never think or say,
That I’m too young a child to pray,
Or give for Jesus’ sake:
If done from love to Him alone,
The feeblest effort He will own,
And all the glory take. Used With Tune: EL NIÑO Text Sources: Pasture for Lambs (Edinburgh: John Johnstone, 1849)

My God, Thy Boundless Love I Praise
Author: Henry Moore, 1732-18-2 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9532 Meter: 8.6.6 D Lyrics: 1 My God, Thy boundless love I praise;
How bright on high its glories blaze;
How sweetly bloom below!
It streams from Thine eternal throne;
Thro’ Heav’n its joys forever run,
And all the earth o’erflow.
2 ’Tis love that paints the purple morn,
And bids the clouds in air upborne,
Their genial drops distill;
In every vernal beam it glows,
And breathes in every gale that blows,
And glides in every rill.
3 It robes in cheerful green the ground,
And pours its flowery beauties round,
Whose sweets perfume the gale;
Its bounties richly spread the plain,
The blushing fruit, the golden grain,
And smile on every vale.
4 Thus in Thy word I see it shine
With grace and glories all divine,
To earthly mortals giv’n;
While faith, bright cherub, points the way,
To realms of everlasting day,
And opens all her Heav’n.
5 Then let the love, that makes me blest,
With cheerful praise inspire my breast,
And ardent gratitude;
And all my thoughts and passions tend
To Thee, my Father and my friend,
My soul’s eternal good. Languages: English Tune Title: EL NIÑO
