Lyics

TO 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.



Here what delightful truths are given;

Here Jesus shows the way to heaven;

His name salutes my listening ear,

Revives my heart and checks my fear.



For love like this, O may our song

Through endless years thy praise prolong;

And distant climes thy name adore,

Till time and nature are no more.
