What Shall I Render to the Lord (Ps. 116:12)

Original Music: For the Beauty of the Earth; Conrad Kocher, 1786-1872; adapt. William Henry Monk, 1823-1889.

What shall I render to the Lord, for thy mercy shown to me?
How shall I live to please thy name, Thou hast dealt so bountifully.
Gracious Lord, more love we need to accomplish all for Thee.

Show thy glory to inspire, grant us hearts that will forgive.
May our affections be Thine own, for by faith we all shall live.
Gracious Lord, more love we need to accomplish all for Thee.

For the prize that waits us all, grant us grace to finish strong.
Till we rest in heaven’s land, present suff’rings here not long.
Gracious Lord, more love we need to accomplish all for Thee.

What shall I render to the Lord, all his benefits are mine.
Give thy grace to lose this life, to attain new life sublime.
Gracious Lord, more love we need to accomplish all for Thee.
