SS&S Hymn #265: Now let my soul

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

1

Now let my soul, eternal King,
To Thee its grateful tribute bring;
My knee with humble homage bow,
My tongue perform its solemn vow.

2

All nature sings Thy boundless love,
In worlds below and worlds above;
But in Thy blessed Word I trace
Diviner wonders of Thy grace.

3

Here Jesus bids my sorrows cease,
And gives my labouring conscience peace;
Here lifts my grateful passions high,
And points to mansions in the sky.

4

For love like this, oh, let my song
Through endless years Thy praise prolong!
Let distant climes Thy name adore,
Till time and nature are no more.
