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.
