- 1My God, my King, Thy various praise
- Shall fill the remnant of my days:
- Thy grace employ my humble tongue,
- Till death and glory raise the song.
- 2The wings of every hour shall bear
- Some thankful tribute to Thine ear;
- And every setting sun shall see
- New works of duty done for Thee.
- 3But who can speak Thy wondrous deeds?
- Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds;
- Vast and unsearchable Thy ways,
- Vast and immortal be Thy praise.
