Thou pow'r supreme, by whose command we live!

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #20 (1814) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Thou power supreme, by whose command we live! The grateful tribute of our praise receive: To thy indulgence we our being owe, And all the joys which from that being flow. 2 Thy skill our elemental clay refined, And all its various parts in order join'd; With perfect symmetry compos'd the whole. And stamp'd thy sacred image on the soul: 3 A soul, susceptible of endless joy, Whose frame nor force, nor time, shall e'er destroy; Which shall survive, though nature claim our breath, And bid defiance to the darts of death. 4 How shall our hearts their grateful sense reveal, When all the energy of words must fail? O may its influence in our lives appear, And ev'ry action prove our thanks sincere. Topics: Praise and Thanksgiving Languages: English
