O Lord, I Sing with Lips and Heart

O Lord! I sing with lips and heart

[originally

O Lord! I sing with mouth and heart]

Joy of my soul! to Thee;

To earth Thy know­ledge I im­part

As it is known to me.

Thou art the Fount of grace

I know

And spring aye full and free

Whence sav­ing health and good­ness flow

Each day so boun­te­ous­ly.

What have we here

or what are we

Of good what can earth give

That we do not alone from Thee

Our Fa­ther

aye re­ceive?

The tent-like fir­ma­ment who builds

Who spreads th’ex­panse of blue

Who sends to fer­ti­lize our fields

Refreshing rain and dew?

Who warm­eth us in cold and frost

Who shields us from the wind

Who or­ders it that wine and must

We in their sea­son find?

Who is it life and health be­stows

Who keeps us with His hand

In gold­en peace

wards off war’s woes

From our dear na­tive land?

The work is Thine

my God! my Lord!

And Thine must ev­er be;

Before our door Thou keep­est guard

In rest we’re kept by Thee.

Thou feed­est us from year to year

And con­stant dost ab­ide;

When dan­ger fills our hearts with fear

With help art at our side.

With pa­tience dost Thou ev­er chide

Nor long Thine an­ger keep

But cast­est all our sins aside

Into the ocean deep.

Whene’er our bur­dened hearts we raise

To Thee

Thou’rt soon ap­peased;

The help Thou send’st shows forth Thy praise

And our sad hearts are eased.

Thou mark’st how oft Thy peo­ple weep

And what their sor­rows are;

Their tears dost in Thy bot­tle keep

However small they are.

Our deep­est needs dost Thou sup­ply

Thou giv’st what lasts for aye

Thou lead’st us to our home on high

When hence we pass away.

Awake

my heart

awake and sing

And joy­ous be thy mood;

Thy God who mak­eth ev­ery­thing

Is

and ab­ides thy good—

Thy trea­sure and in­her­it­ance!

Thy glo­ry and de­light!

Thy sav­ing health and sure de­fense!

He keeps and guides thee right.Why do thy cares both night and day

Grieve thee so bit­ter­ly?

Upon thy God thy bur­den lay

Who gave thy life to thee.Hath He not all the wea­ry way

From youth till now thee led?

Oft chased mis­for­tune’s clouds away

That ga­thered o’er thy head?In all His rule no ov­er­sight

Can hap­pen

no mis­takes;

Whate’er He does or leaves is right

A hap­py is­sue takes.

Let Him work who doth all things well

Nor with Him in­ter­fere;

And so thou shalt in glo­ry dwell

And peace en­joy while here.
