WITH all my powers of heart and tongue,
Verse 1
WITH all my powers of heart and tongue, I'll praise my Maker in my song: Angels shall hear the notes I raise, Approve the song, and join the praise.
Verse 2
I'll sing Thy truth and mercy, Lord, I'll sing the wonders of Thy word; Not all Thy works and names below, So much Thy power and glory show.
Verse 3
To God I cried when troubles rose; He heard me, and subdued my foes; He did my rising fears control, And strength diffused through all my soul.
Verse 4
The God of heaven maintains His state. Frowns on the proud, and scorns the great; But from His throne descends to see The sons of humble poverty.
Verse 5
Amidst a thousand snares I stand, Upheld and guarded by Thine hand: Thy words my fainting soul revive, And keep my dying faith alive.
Verse 6
Grace will complete what grace begins, To save from sorrows or from sins; The work that wisdom undertakes Eternal mercy ne'er forsakes.
