My Steadfast Heart, O God

My stead­fast heart

O God

Will sound Thy praise abroad

With tune­ful string;

The dawn shall hear my song

Thy praise I will pro­long

And where Thy peo­ple throng

Thanksgiving bring.

Thy truth and ten­der love

Are high as Heav’n ab­ove;

Thy help we crave.

Be Thou ex­alt­ed high

Above the lof­ty sky;

Lest Thy be­lov­èd die

O hear and save.

God’s Word shall sure­ly stand;

His name through ev­ery land

Shall be ad­ored;

Lord

who shall lead our host?

Thine aid we co­vet most

In Thee is all our boast

Strong in the Lord.
