LyicsMy Saviour, Lord, and dearest 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;
O for thy all abounding grace!
That I may love thee more.
My feet shall travel all the length
Of the celestial road;
And march with courage in thy strength
To reach thy blest abode.
Awake, awake, my tuneful powers;
With this delightful song
I'll entertain the darkest hours,
Nor think the season long.
