The glories, that compose thy name, Stand all engag'd to make me blest. 2 Thou great and good, thou just and wise, Thou art my Father and my God! And I am thine by sacred ties, Thy Child and servant, bought with blood. 3 With heart and eyes and lifted hands, For thee I long, for thee I look, As travellers in thirsty lands Pant for the cooling water-brook. 4 E'en life itself, without thy love, No lasting pleasure can afford: Yea, 'twould but a tiresome burden prove, If I were banish'd from thee, Lord. 5 I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice, While I have breath to pray or praise. This work shall make my heart rejoice, Throughout the remnant of my days. Languages: English

Thou art my shield, my hiding-place, My hope is in thy word. 6 Thou hast inclin'd this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus till mortal life shall end Would I perform thy will.
