Lyics

My God, my heart with love inflame.
That I may in thy holy name
Aloud in songs of praise rejoice,
While I have breath to raise my voice:


No more let my ungrateful heart
One moment from thy praise depart;
But live and sing in sweet accord,
The glories of my sov'reign Lord.


Jesus! thou hope of glory, come,
And make my heart thy constant home;
Through all the remnant of my days,
O let me speak, and live thy praise!


Incessantly I wish to pray,
And live rejoicing every day,
And give thee thanks for every thing,
And sing and pray, and pray and sing.


In thine embrace I then would die,
And rise to worlds of endless joy,
Till Christ the Lord in clouds shall come,
And Michael's trump shall rend my tomb:


Then from the dust of death I'll spring,
And shout, O death, where is thy sting!
O grave, where is thy victory!
I'll sing through all eternity.
