Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: Hymns for Celebration #27 (1974) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 145 Lyrics: 1 My God, my King, thy various praise
Shall fill the remnant of my days;
Thy grace employ my humble tongue,
Till death and glory raise the song.
2 The wings of every hour shall bear
Some thankful tribute to thine ear,
And every setting sun shall see
New works of duty done for thee.
3 Thy truth and justice I'll proclaim;
Thy bounty flows, an endless stream;
Thy mercy swift; thine anger slow,
But dreadful to the stubborn foe.
4 Let distant times and nations raise
The long succession of thy praise;
And unborn ages make my song
The joy and labour of their tongue.
5 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds ?
Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds;
Vast and unsearchable thy ways,
Vast and immortal be thy praise! Topics: Holy Communion After the Communion Languages: English Tune Title: ST BARTHOLOMEW
