Sweet Is the Work, My God, My King
"I shall be anointed with fresh oil" - Ps. 92:10
VERSE 1
Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
To praise Thy name give thanks and sing;
To show Thy love by morning light,
And talk of all Thy truth at night.
VERSE 2
Sweet is the day of sacred rest,
No mortal cares disturb my breast,
O may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp of solemn sound!
VERSE 3
My heart shall triumph in the Lord,
And bless His works and bless His word:
Thy works of grace, how bright they shine!
How deep Thy counsels, how divine!
VERSE 4
All I shall share a glorious part,
When grace has well refined my heart,
And fresh supplies of joy are shed,
Like holy oil, to cheer my head.
VERSE 5
Then shall I see, and hear, and know,
All I desired or wished below;
And every power find sweet employ,
In that eternal world of joy.
