I’ll Bless Jehovah’s Glorious Name

lyricist: Elizabeth Daye (1733–1829)
Composer: Thomas Hastings, 1836

I’ll bless Je­ho­vah’s glo­ri­ous name

Whose good­ness Heav’n and earth pro­claim

With ev­ery morn­ing light;

And at the close of ev­ery day

To Him my cheer­ful hom­age pay

Who guards me through the night.

Then in His church­es to ap­pear

To pay my hum­ble wor­ship there

Shall be my sweet em­ploy:

The day that saw my Sav­ior rise

Shall dawn on my de­light­ed eyes

With pure and ho­ly joy.

With grat­eful sor­row in my breast

I’ll ce­le­brate the dy­ing feast

Of my de­part­ing Lord;

And while His per­fect love I view

His bright ex­am­ple I’ll pur­sue

And me­di­tate His Word.
