Fill Thou my Life, O Lord my God
Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God,
In ev-ery part with praise,
That my whole be-ing may pro-claim
Thy be-ing and Thy ways.
Not for the lip of praise a-lone,
Nor e'en the prais-ing heart,
I ask, but for a life made up
Of praise in ev-ery part.
Praise in the com-mon things of life,
Its go-ings out and in,
Praise in each du-ty and each deed,
How-ev-er small and mean.
Fill ev-ery part of me with praise;
Let all my be-ing speak
Of Thee and of Thy love, O Lord,
Poor though I be, and weak.
So shalt Thou, Lord, from me, e'en me,
Re-ceive the glo-ry due,
And so shall I be-gin on earth
The song for-ev-er new.
So shall no part of day or night
From sa-cred-ness be free;
But all my life, in ev-ery step,
Be fel-low-ship with Thee.
