LyicsTo Thee, my heart, eternal King!
Would now its thankful tribute bring;
To Thee its humble homage raise
In songs of ardent, grateful praise.
All nature shows Thy boundless love
In worlds below and worlds above;
But in Thy blessed word I trace
The richer glories of Thy grace.
Here what delightful truths are giv'n;
Here Jesus shows the way to heav'n;
His name salutes my list'ning ear,
Revives my heart and checks my fear.
For love like this, O may our song
Through endless years Thy praise prolong;
And distant climes Thy name adore
Till time and nature are no more!
