Let every tongue thy goodness speak

Verse 1

Let ev’ry tongue Thy goodness speak, Thou sovereign Lord of all; Thy strength’ning hands uphold the weak, And raise the poor that fall.

Verse 2

When sorrow bows the spirit down, When virtue lies distressed, Beneath the proud oppressor’s frown, Thou giv’st the mourner rest.

Verse 3

Thou know’st the pains Thy servants feel, He heard’st Thy children cry, And their best wishes to fulfill, Thy grace is ever nigh.

Verse 4

My lips shall dwell upon Thy praise, And spread Thy fame abroad. Let all the sons of Adam raise The honors of their God.
