Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Hymnal: Together in Song #596 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Fill my whole life, O Lord my God,
in every part with praise,
that my whole being may proclaim
your being and your ways.
2 Not for the lip of praise alone,
nor ev'n the praising heart
I ask, but for a life made up
of praise in every part:
3 praise in the common things of life,
its goings out and in;
praise in each duty and each deed,
however small and mean.
4 Fill every part of me with praise:
let all my being speak
of you and of your love, O Lord,
poor though I be and weak.
5 So shalt you, Lord, receive from me
the praise and glory due;
and so shall I begin on earth
the song for ever new.
6 So shall no part of day and night
from sacredness be free;
but with you, Lord, in every step,
my fellowship will be. Topics: Adoration and praise; Holiness; Jesus Christ Friend and Companion; Joy; Personal Petition; Personal Response to Jesus; Thanksgiving Scripture: 1 John 1:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: RICHMOND
