LONG as I live I'll bless Thy name,

LONG as I live I'll bless Thy name, My King, my God of love; My work and joy shall be the same, In the bright world above.

Great is the Lord, His power unknown, And let His praise be great: I'll sing the honours of Thy throne, Thy works of grace repeat.

Thy grace shall dwell upon my tongue; And, while my lips rejoice, The men that hear my sacred song Shall join their cheerful voice.

Fathers to sons shall teach Thy name, And children learn Thy ways; Ages to come Thy truth proclaim, And nations sound Thy praise.

Thy glorious deeds of ancient date Shall through the world be known; Thine arm of power, Thy heavenly state, With public splendour shown.

The world is managed by Thy hands, Thy saints are ruled by love; And Thine eternal kingdom stands, Though rocks and hills remove.
