Now let my soul, eternal King,
To thee its grateful tribute bring;
My knee with humble homage bow,
My tongue perform its solemn vow.
All nature sings thy boundless love,
In worlds below and worlds above;
But in thy blessed word I trace
Diviner Wonders of thy grace.
There what delightful truths I read!
There I behold the Saviour bleed:
His name salutes my listening ear,
Revives my heart, and checks my fear.
There Jesus bids my sorrows cease,
And gives my labouring conscience peace;
Raises my grateful passions high,
And points to mansions in the sky.
For love like this, O let my song
Through endless years thy praise prolong
Let distant climes thy name adore,
Till time and nature are no more.
