Hymnal: The Psalms of David #265b (1740) Topics: Vanity of Man as mortal First Line: My GOD, my KIng, tny various Praise Lyrics: 1 My God, my King, thy various Praise
Shall fill the Remnant of my days;
Thy Grace employ my humble Tongue
Till Death and Glory raise the Song.
2 The Wings of ev'ry Hour shall bear
Some thankful Tribute to thine Ear;
And ev'ry setting Sun shall see
New Works of Duty done for Thee.
3 Thy Truth and Justice I'll proclaim;
Thy Bounty flows, an endless Stream;
Thy Mercy swift, thine Anger slow,
But dreadful to the stubborn foe.
4 Thy Works with sov'reign Glory shine,
And speak thy Majesty divine;
Let Britain round her Shores proclaim
The Sound and Honour of thy Name.
5 Let distant Times and Nations raise
The long Succession of thy Praise,
And unborn Ages make my Song
The Joy and Labour of their Tongue.
6 But who can speak thy wond'rous Deeds,
Thy greatness all our Thoughts exceeds;
Vast and unsearchable thy Ways,
Vast and immortal be thy Praise. Scripture: Psalm 144 Languages: English
