LyicsETERNAL God, celestial King,
Exalted be thy glorious name;
Let hosts in heaven thy praises sing,
And saints on earth thy love proclaim.
My heart is fixed on thee, my God;
I rest my hope on thee alone;
I'll spread thy sacred thruths abroad,
To all mankind thy love make know.
Awake, my tongue; awake, my lyre;
With morning's earliest dawn arise;
To songs of joy my soul inspire,
And swell your music to the skies.
With those who in thy grace abound,
To thee I'll raise my thankful voice,
Till every land, the earth around,
Shall bear, and in thy name rejoice.
