Long as I live I’ll praise thy name,

My King, my God of love;

My work and joy shall be the same

In the bright world above.

2 Great is the Lord, his power unknown,

And let his praise be great:

I’ll sing the honors of thy throne,

Thy work of grace repeat.

3 Thy grace shall dwell upon my tongue;

And while my lips rejoice,

The men that hear my sacred song,

Shall join their cheerful voice.

4 Fathers to sons shall teach thy name,

And children learn thy ways;

Ages to come thy truth proclaim,

And nations sound thy praise.

5 Thy glorious deeds of ancient date

Shall through the world be known—

Thy arm of power, thy heavenly state

With public splendor shown.

6 The world is managed by thy hands,

Thy saints are ruled by love;

And thy eternal kingdom stands,

Though rocks and hills remove.
