LyicsETERNAL God, celestial King,
Exalted by Thy glorious name;
Let hosts in heav'n Thy praises sing,
And saints on earth Thy love proclaim.
My heart is fix'd on Thee, my God;
I rest my hope on Thee alone;
I'll spread Thy sacred truths abroad,
To all mankind Thy love make known.
Awake, my tongue; awake, my lyre;
With morning's earliest dawn arise;
To songs of joy my soul inspire,
And swell your music to the skies.
With those who in Thy grace abound,
To Thee I'll raise my thankful voice,
Till every land the earth around,
Shall hear, and in Thy name rejoice.
