|
|
<p>Sweet is the work, my God, my King,<br>
|
|
To praise Thy Name, give thanks and sing,<br>
|
|
To show Thy love by morning light<br>
|
|
And talk of all Thy truth at night.</p>
|
|
<p>Sweet is the day of sacred rest,<br>
|
|
No mortal cares shall seize my breast.<br>
|
|
O may my heart in tune be found,<br>
|
|
Like David’s harp of solemn sound!</p>
|
|
<p>My heart shall triumph in my Lord<br>
|
|
And bless His works and bless His Word.<br>
|
|
Thy works of grace, how bright they shine!<br>
|
|
How deep Thy counsels, how divine!</p>
|
|
<p>Fools never raise their thoughts so high;<br>
|
|
Like brutes they live, like brutes they die;<br>
|
|
Like grass they flourish, till Thy breath<br>
|
|
Blast them in everlasting death.</p>
|
|
<p>But I shall share a glorious part,<br>
|
|
When grace has well refined my heart;<br>
|
|
And fresh supplies of joy are shed,<br>
|
|
Like holy oil, to cheer my head.</p>
|
|
<p>Sin (my worst enemy before)<br>
|
|
Shall vex my eyes and ears no more;<br>
|
|
My inward foes shall all be slain,<br>
|
|
Nor Satan break my peace again.</p>
|
|
<p>Then shall I see, and hear, and know<br>
|
|
All I desired and wished below;<br>
|
|
And every power find sweet employ<br>
|
|
In that eternal world of joy.</p>
|
|
<p>And then what triumphs shall I raise<br>
|
|
To Thy dear Name through endless days,<br>
|
|
For in the realms of joy I’ll see<br>
|
|
Thy face in full felicity.</p>
