Representative Text

1 Let every heart and tongue
Proclaim the Saviour's praise;
He is the source of all my joy,
His mercy crowns my days.

2 He knows my feeble frame,
Remembers I am dust;
And though He should my life destroy,
In Him I'll put my trust.

3 Each day He is my strength,
My hope, my life, my all;
And, while upon His arm I lean,
I surely can not fall.

4 Then to my blessed Lord
Let grateful songs arise,
While angels bear the notes above,
And sound them through the skies.
