LyicsO God, my heart with love inflame,
That I may in thy holy name
Aloud in songs of praise rejoice,
While I have breath to raise my voice,
Then will I shout, then will I sing,
And make the heavenly arches ring;
I'll sing and shout forever more,
On that eternal happy shore.
O Jesus, hope of glory, come,
And make my heart thy constant home
For the short remnant of my days,
I want to sing and shout thy praise;
Incessantly I want to pray,
And live rejoicing every day,
And to give thanks in every thing,
And sing and shout and shout and sing.
Lord, on my last, my dying day,
Then give me strength to sing and pray
To praise thee with my latest breath,
Until my voice is lost in death;
Then sisters brothers shouting come,
My body follow to the tomb,
And as you march that solemn road,
Loud sing and shout the praise of God.
Then you below, and I above,
Will sing and shout the God we love;
And on that great tremendous day,
When Christ shall call our slumbering clay,
We from our dusty bed will spring,
And shout, "O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?"
We'll shout thro' all eternity.
Our race is run, we've gained the prize,
Well done! the Sovereign of the skies,
Will, smiling, to his chilgren say,
Come reign with me in endless day."
Then on that happy, happy shore,
We'll sing and shout forevermore;
We'll sing and shout and shout and sing,
And make all heaven with praises ring.
