To thee, my God, I humbly bow

To thee, my God, I humbly bow

Author: Paul Henkel
Published in 3 hymnals

Representative Text

1 To thee my God I humbly bow,
All praises be to thee!
How great, how good and kind art thou,
And gracious unto me.

2 My life, my health, and all I am,
Thy mercies have bestow'd;
The greatest blessings I can claim,
Is thee my gracious God.

3 What wonders thou for me hast wrought
Are more than I can trace;
I was to light from darkness brought,
And made to know thy ways.

4 May I for ever walk therein,
Confirm my heart be faith!
And may I never yield to sin
Until the hour of death.

5 May I with constant fervent zeal,
In all things persevere;
My hopes and comforts never fail
Whilst I must travel here.
