With my whole Heart, my GOD and King, Thy worthy praise I will proclaim (Hopkinson)

Verse 1

With my whole heart, my God and King Thy worthy praise I will proclaim; Before the gods with joy I'll sing, And ever bless thy holy name.

Verse 2

I'll worship at thy sacred seat; And, with thy love divine inspir'd, The praises of thy truth repeat, Thy truth through all thy works admir'd.

Verse 3

Thou graciously inclin'st thine ear, When I to thee address'd my cry; And when my soul was press'd with fear, Didst inward strength to me supply.

Verse 4

Therefore shall ev'ry earthly prince Thy name with constant praise pursue; Whom thy bless'd word shall them convince That all thy works are just and true.

Verse 5

The God of heav’n maintains his state, Frowns on the proud, and scorns the great; But from his throne descends to bless The humble souls that trust his grace.

Verse 6

Amidst a thousand snares I stand, Upheld and guarded by thy hand, Thy words my fainting soul revive, And keep my dying faith alive.

Verse 7

Grace will complete what grace begins, To save from sorrows or from sins; The work that wisdom undertakes Eternal mercy ne’er forsakes.
