Lyics

SWEET is the work, my God! my King!

To praise Thy name, give thanks and sing;

To show Thy love by morning light,

And talk of all Thy truth at night.



Sweet is the day of sacred rest;

No mortal care shall seize my breast;

O may my heart in tune be found,

Like David's harp of solemn sound.



My heart shall triumph in the Lord,

And bless His works, and bless His word;

Thy works of grace, how bright they shine!

How deep Thy counsels! how divine!
