Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIJI KLMNOf all the gifts Thine hand bestows | A |
Thou Giver of all good | B |
Not heaven itself a richer knows | A |
Than my Redeemer's blood | C |
- | |
Faith too the blood receiving grace | D |
From the same hand we gain | E |
Else sweetly as it suits our case | D |
That gift had been in vain | E |

Till Thou Thy teaching power apply | F |
Our hearts refuse to see | G |
And weak as a distemper'd eye | F |
Shut out the view of Thee | G |

Blind to the merits of Thy Son | H |
What misery we endure | I |
Yet fly that Hand from which alone | J |
We could expect a cure | I |

We praise Thee and would praise Thee more | K |
To Thee our all we owe | L |
The precious Saviour and the power | M |
That makes Him precious too | N |
