To Thee, My Heart, Eternal King

To Thee

my heart

eter­nal King

Would now its thank­ful trib­ute bring;

To Thee its hum­ble hom­age raise

In songs of ar­dent

grate­ful

praise.

All na­ture shows Thy bound­less love

In worlds be­low and worlds above;

But in Thy bless­èd Word I trace

The rich­er glo­ries of Thy grace.

Here what de­light­ful truths are giv’n;

Here Je­sus shows the way to Heav’n;

His name sa­lutes my list­en­ing ear

Revives my heart

and checks my fear.

For love like this

O may our song

Through end­less years Thy praise pro­long;

And dist­ant climes Thy name ad­ore

Till time and na­ture are no more.
