English.png English text

1.My God, when-e'er my longing heart
Its grateful tribute would impart,
In vain my tongue, with feeble aim,
Attempts the glories of Thy name.

2. In vain my boldest thoughts arise,
I sink to earth and lose the skies:
Yet may I still Thy grace implore,
And low in dust Thy name adore.

 

3. O let Thy grace my heart inspire,
And raise each languid, weak desire;
Thy grace, which condescends to meet
The sinner prostrate at Thy feet.

4. With humble fear let love unite
And mix devotion with delight;
Then shall Thy name be all my joy,
Thy praise, my constant blest employ.

 

5. Thy name inspires the harps above
With harmony, and praise, and love;
That grace, which tunes th'immortal strings,
Looks kindly down on mortal things.

6. O let Thy grace guide every song,
And fill my heart and tune my tongue;
Then shall the strain harmonious flow,
And heaven's sweet work begin below.
