LXXXVII. Rejoicing in Hope

1 My Saviour, my Almighty friend,
When I begin thy praise;
Where will the growing numbers end,
The numbers of thy grace?

2 Thou art my everlasting trust,
Thy goodness I adore!
Send down thy grace, O blessed LORD,
That I may love thee more

3 My feet shall travel all the length,
Of the celestial road;
And march with courage in thy strength
To see the LORD my GOD.

4 How will my lips rejoice to tell
The vict'ries of my King!
My soul redeem'd from sin and hell,
Shall thy salvation sing.

5 My tongue shall all the day proclaim,
My Saviour and my GOD;
His death hath brought my foes to shame
And drown'd them in his blood.

6 Awake, awake, my tuneful pow'rs,
With this delightful song
I'll entertain the darkest hours
Nor think the season long.
