Text: | Sweet is the work, my God, my King |
Author: | Rev. Isaac Watts |
Tune: | GRACE CHURCH |
Composer: | Ignaz J. Pleyel |
1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
To praise Thy Name, give thanks and sing;
To show Thy love by morning light,
And talk of all Thy truth at night.
2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest;
No mortal cares shall seize my breast;
O may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp of solemn sound.
3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord,
And bless His works, and bless His word;
Thy works of grace, how bright they shine!
How deep Thy counsels, how divine!
4 Then shall I see and hear and know
All I desired or wished below;
And every power find sweet employ
In that eternal world of joy.
Amen.
