Lyics

NOW be my heart inspir'd to sing

The glories of my Saviour King;

He comes with blessings from above,

And wins the nations to His love.



Thy throne, O Lord, forever stands;

Grace is the scepter in Thy hands;

Thy laws and works are just and right,

But truth and mercy Thy delight.



Let endless honors crown Thy head;

Let every age Thy praises spread;

Let all the nations know Thy word,

And every tongue confess Thee Lord.
