LyicsMY 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.
