Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God

Fill Thou my life

O Lord my God

In every part with praise

That my whole being may proclaim

Thy being and Thy ways.

Not for the lip of praise alone

Nor e’en the praising heart

I ask

but for a life made up

Of praise in every part:

Praise in the common things of life

Its goings out and in;

Praise in each duty and each deed

However small and mean.

Fill every part of me with praise;

Let all my being speak

Of Thee and of Thy love

O Lord

Poor though I be and weak.

So shall no part of day or night

From sacredness be free

But all my life

in every step

Be fellowship with Thee.
