LyicsMy God, how cheerful is the sound!
How pleasant to repeat!
Well may that heart with pleasure bound
Where God has fix'd his seat.
What want shall not our God supply
From his redundant stores?
What streams of mercy from on high
An arm almighty pours1
From Christ, the ever-living spring,
These ample blessings flow:
Prepare my lips, his praise to sing,
Whose heart has lov'd us so.
Now to our Father and our God,
Be endless glory given,
Thro' all the realms of man's abode,
And thro' the highest heaven.
