LyicsLONG as I live I'll praise thy name,
My King, my God of love;
My work and joy shall be the same
In the bright world above.
Great is the Lord, his pow'r unknown,
And let his praise be great:
I'll sing the honors of thy throne,
Thy work of grace repeat.
Thy grace shall dwell upon my tongue
And while my lips rejoice,
The men that hear my sacred song
Shall join their cheerful voice.
Fathers to sons shall teach thy name,
And children learn thy ways;
Ages to come thy truth proclaim,
And nations sound thy praise.
Thy glorious deeds of ancient date
Shall through the world be known,
Thy arm of power, thy heav'nly state,
With public splendor shown.
The world is manag'd by thy hand,
The saints are rul'd by love;
And thy eternal kingdom stands,
Though rocks and hills remove.
