Exulting in the Favor of God

Thomas Haweis • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 67:5

Verse 1

To thee O blessed Savior, My heart exulting springs, Rejoicing in thy favor Almighty King of kings; I’ll celebrate thy glory With all the saints above, And tell the joyful story Of thy redeeming love.

Chorus

Fill all our hearts with gladness, And every mouth with praise, That we may swell the chorus And loud the anthem raise, To celebrate thy glory With all the saints above, And tell the joyful story Of thy redeeming love.

Verse 2

Soon as the moon with roses Bedecks the dewy east; And when the sun reposes Upon the ocean’s breast, My voice in supplication O Savior, thou shalt hear, Grant me thy full salvation, And to my heart draw near.

Chorus

Fill all our hearts with gladness, And every mouth with praise, That we may swell the chorus And loud the anthem raise, To celebrate thy glory With all the saints above, And tell the joyful story Of thy redeeming love.

Verse 3

By thee, through life supported, I pass the dangerous road, With heavenly hosts escorted Up to their bright abode; There cast my crown before thee, My toils and conflicts o’er, And with the hosts angelic Thy wondrous love adore.

Chorus

Fill all our hearts with gladness, And every mouth with praise, That we may swell the chorus And loud the anthem raise, To celebrate thy glory With all the saints above, And tell the joyful story Of thy redeeming love.
