To show Thy love by morning tight,
And talk of all Thy truth at night.
Sweet is the day of sacred rest ;

Oh, may my heart hi tune be found,
Like David's harp of solemn sound I
My heart shall triumph in my Lord,
And bless His works and bless His word ;
His works of grace, hoW bright they

How deep His counsels, how divine I
