Long as I live I'll bless thy name,

My King, my God of love;

My work and joy shall be the same

In the bright world above.

Great is the Lord, his power unknown,

And let his praise be great;

I'll sing the honors of thy throne,

Thy works of grace repeat.

Thy grace shall dwell upon my tongue;

And while my lips rejoice,

The men that hear my sacred song

Shall join their cheerful voice.

Fathers to sons shall teach thy name,

And children learn thy ways;

Ages to come thy truth proclaim,

And nations sound thy praise.

Thy glorious deeds of ancient date

Shall through the world be known;

Thine arm of power, thy heav'nly state,

With public splendor shown.

The world is managed by thy hands,

Thy saints are ruled by love;

And thine eternal kingdom stands,

Though rocks and hills remove.
