GRACE FOR GRACE, by                    
First Line: Thy gifts without thy grace are lacking still
Last Line: The grace to share with him in poorer plight.
Subject(s): Grace; Religion; Theology


Thy gifts without Thy grace are lacking still;
Imperfect I do turn Thy gifts to ill;
Therefore would I with all Thy gifts entreat
These graces three to make Thy gifts complete:
The grace to see, and wonder at the sight;
The grace to take, and use Thy gift aright;
The grace to share with him in poorer plight.
