MHB 604 – FILL Thou my life, O Lord my God,

Methodist-Hymns-604

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.

2:  Not for the lip of praise alone,
Nor e’en the praising heart,
I ask, but for a life made up
Of praise in every part:

3:  Praise in the common things of life,
Its goings out and in;
Praise in each duty and each deed,
However small and mean.

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.

5:  So shalt Thou, Lord, from me, e’en me,
Receive the glory due,
And so shall I begin on earth
The song for ever new.

6:  So shall no part of day or night
From sacredness be free;
But all my life, in every step,
Be fellowship with Thee.
