1. Of All the Gifts Thy Love Bestows

C.M.
by W. Cowper
1
Of all the gifts Thy love bestows,
 
Thou Giver of all good!
 
Not heaven itself a richer knows
 
Than the Redeemer’s blood.
2
Faith, too, that trusts the blood through grace,
 
From that same love we gain;
 
Else, sweetly, as it suits our case,
 
The gift had been in vain.
3
We praise Thee, and would praise Thee more,
 
To Thee our all we owe;
 
The precious Savior, and the power
 
That makes Him precious too.
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner.” (1 Peter 2:4-7)
