LyicsTo thee, my heart, Eternal King!
Would now its thankful tribute bring,
To thee its humble homage raise
In songs of ardent, grateful praise.
All nature shows thy boundless love,
In worlds below and worlds above;
But in thy blessed word I trace
The richer glories of thy grace.
There what delightful truths are given;
There Jesus shows the way to heaven;
His name salutes my listening ear,
Revives my heart and checks my fear.
For love like this, oh, may our song
Thro' endless years thy praise prolong;
And distant climes thy name adore,
Till time and nature are no more!
