A Selection of Psalms with occasional hymns (Charleston hymnal) ‎#P.XVIII

P.XVIII. O God, my heart is fix'd, 'tis bent

1 O God, my heart is fix'd, 'tis bent,
Its thankful tribute to present;
And, with my heart, my voice I'll raise,
To thee, my God, in songs of praise:

2 Awake, my glory; harp and lute,
No longer let your strings be mute:
And I, my tuneful part to take,
Will with the early dawn awake.

3 Thy praises, Lord, I will resound
To all the list'ning nations round;
Thy mercy highest heav'n transcends;
Thy truth beyond the clouds extends.

4 Be thou, O God, exalted high;
And, as thy glory fills the sky,
So let it be on earth display'd,
Till thou art here, as there, obey'd.
