187 My King, my God of love;

ONG as I live, I'll bless thy name,

My work and joy shall be the same,
In brighter worlds above.

2 Great is the Lord, his power unknown;
O let his praise be great:

I'll sing the honors of thy throne,
Thy works of grace repeat.

3 Thy love shall upon my tongue;
And while my lips rejoice,

The men who hear my sacred song,
Shall join their cheerful voice.

4 Fathers to sons shall tell thy name,
And children learn thy ways;
Ages to come thy truth proclaim,
And nations sound thy praise.

5 The world is governed by thy hand,
Thy saints are ruled by love;
Eternal does thy kingdom stand,
Though rocks and hills remove.

ET children hear the mighty deeds
Which God performed of old;
Which in our younger years we saw,
And which our fathers told.

2 He bids us make his glories known,
His works of power and grace;
And we'll convey his wonders down
Throgh every rising race.

3 Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to theirs,

That generations yet unborn
May teach them to their heirs.

4 Thus shall they learn, in God alone
Their hope securely stands,

That they may ne'er forget his works,
But practice his commands.

EJOICE to-day with one accord,
Sing out with exultation;
Rejoice and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose arm hath brought salvation;
His works of love proclaim
The greatness of his name;
For he is God alone

Who hath his mercy shown;
Let all his saints adore him!

2 When, in distress, to him we cried,
He heard our sad complaining:
O trust in him, whate'er betide,
His love is all-sustaining;

Triumphant songs of praise
To him our hearts shall raise;
Now every voice shall say,
"O praise our God alway;'
Let all his saints adore him!

3 Rejoice to-day with one accord,
Sing out with exultation;
Rejoice and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose arm hath brought salvation;
His works of love proclaim
The greatness of his name;
For he is God alone

Who hath his mercy shown;
Let all his saints adore him.
