124. S. M. Mrs. Steele.
God, our Creator and Benefactor.
1My Maker and my King!
To thee my all I owe:
Thy sovereign bounty is the spring,
From whence my blessings flow.
2Thou ever good and kind!
A thousand reasons move,
A thousand obligations bind
My heart to grateful love.
3The creature of thy hand,
On thee alone I live:
My God! thy benefits demand
More praise than tongue can give.
4O let thy grace inspire
My soul with strength divine;
Let all my powers to thee aspire,
And all my days be thine.
