Great God! let all my tuneful powers
Awake, and sing thy mighty name:
Thy hand revolves my circling hours-
Thy hand, from whence my being came.
Seasons and moons, still rolling round
In beauteous order, speak thy praise;
And years, with smiling mercy crowned,
To thee successive honours raise.
My life, my health, my friends I owe,
All to thy vast, unbounded love;
Ten thousand precious gifts below,
And hope of nobler joys above.
Thus will I sing till nature cease,
Till sense and language are no more;
And, after death, thy boundless grace,
Through everlasting years adore.
