Words
⤢ Full screenMy God, my King, thy various praiseShall fill the remnant of my days,Thy love shall tune my thankful tongueWith humble prayer and grateful song.
The wings of every hour shall bearSome thankful tribute to thine ear;And every setting sun shall seeNew works of duty done for thee.
Let distant climes and nations raiseThe long succession of thy praise;And every kindred make thy songThe joy and triumph of their tongue.
