Lyics

My Savior! my almighty Friend!

When I begin thy praise,

Where will the growing numbers end--

The numbers of thy grace?



Thou art my everlasting trust;

Thy goodness I adore;

And since I know thy graces first,

I speak thy glories more.



My feet shall travel all the length

Of the celestial road;

And march with courage in thy strength,

To see my Father God.



How will my lips rejoice to tell

The victories of my King!

My soul, redeemed from sin and hell,

Shall thy salvation sing.
