Author: H. Bonar (1808-1889) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #541 (1987) Hymnal Title: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Lyrics: 1 Fill now my life, O Lord my God,
in every part with praise;
that my whole being may proclaim
your being and your ways.
2 Not for the lip of praise alone,
nor yet the praising heart,
I ask, but for a life made up
of praise in every part.
3 Praise in the common things of life,
its goings out and in;
praise in each duty and each deed,
exalted or unseen.
4 Fill every part of me with praise;
let all my being speak
of you and of your love, O Lord,
poor though I be and weak.
5 Then, Lord, from me you shall receive
the praise and glory due;
and so shall I begin on earth
the song for ever new.
6 So shall no part of day or night
from sacredness be free,
but all my life, with you my God,
in fellowship with thee. Topics: God's Church Commitment and Character; Advent 3 The Forerunner; Pentecost 3 The Life of the Baptized; Pentecost 17 The Proof of Faith; Pentecost 18 The Offering of Life Languages: English Tune Title: RICHMOND
