Lyics

O GOD! my heart is fully bent

To magnify Thy name;

My tongue, with cheerful songs of praise,

Shall celebrate Thy fame.



To all the list'ning tribes, O Lord,

Thy wonders I will tell;

And to those nations sing Thy praise

That round about us dwell;



Because Thy mercy's boundless height

The highest heav'n transcends;

And far beyond th' aspiring clouds

Thy faithful truth extends.



Be Thou, O God, exalted high

Above the starry frame;

And let the world, with one consent,

Confess Thy glorious name!
