Fill Thou My Life, O Lord My God
"That they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." - Matt. 5:16
VERSE 1
Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God,
In every part with praise,
That my whole being may proclaim
Thy being and Thy ways.
VERSE 2
Not for the lip of praise alone,
Not e'en the praising heart,
I ask, but for a life made up
Of praise in every part:
VERSE 3
Praise in the common things of life,
Its goings out and in
Praise in each duty and each deed,
However small and mean.
VERSE 4
Fill every part of me with praise;
Let all my being speak
Of Thee and of Thy love, O Lord,
Poor though I be and weak.
VERSE 5
So shall Thou, Lord, from me, e'en me,
Receive the glory due;
And so shall I begin on earth
The song for ever new.
VERSE 6
So shall no part of day or night
From sacredness be free;
But all my life, in every step,
Be fellowship with Thee.
