Nice. The second one would work with “Come, Thou Fount of Ev’ry Blessing,” too.

Ah! Thank you! Multiple hymn-adaptations, very much in the time-honored hymnal tradition.
(That, and the piety of plagiarism. Ahem, I mean "fair use".)

But that was written by a Protestant who would
never pray or sing to created beings in Heaven, which is utterly foreign to Scripture , despite its
over 200 prayers be believers .
Robert Robinson (27 September 1735 9 June 1790) was an English Dissenter, influential Baptist... He was also author of the hymns "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" and "Mighty God, while angels bless Thee", the former of which he wrote at age 22 after converting to Methodism....In January 1759, he moved again, to Stone-Yard Baptist Chapel, Cambridge, where he remained the rest of his life, first as Lecturer and then, from 1762, as Pastor.
Robinson pursued a detailed study of the Scriptures and early Christian authors, which soon convinced him of the inefficacy of infant baptism, compared with the baptism of believing adults. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Robinson_(Baptist)
