- 1My God, my everlasting hope,
- I live upon thy truth;
- Thine hands have held my childhood up,
- And strengthen'd all my youth.
- 2My flesh was fashion'd by thy pow'r
- With all these limbs of mine;
- And from my mother's painful hour
- I've been entirely thine.
- 3Still has my life new wonders seen
- Repeated ev'ry year;
- Behold, my days that yet remain,
- I trust them to thy care.
- 4Cast me not off when strength declines,
- When hoary hairs arise;
- And round me let thy glory shine,
- When'er thy servant dies.
- 5Then, in the hist'ry of my age,
- When men review my days,
- They'll read your love in ev'ry page,
- In ev'ry line thy praise.
