From thee my God, all good proceeds,
On thee alone my life depends,
‘Tis thine to bless with vigorous health,
And thine to grant both wealth and friends:
To thee would I devote my days,
And give thee grate songs of praise.
Each spark of light, each ray of hope,
And every drop of comfort given.
My reason and my better thoughts,
Are all the bounteous gift of heaven:
To thee, oh Lord, help me to raise,
My daily songs of grateful praise.
Awake, my listless drowsy soul,
Shake off thy sloth, and learn thy state,
‘Tis ne’er too soon to serve the Lord,
Erelong with some ‘twill be too late:
Come them, devote thy best of days,
With joy to thy Creator’s praise.
