With All the Power of Heart and Tongue
With All the Power of Heart and Tongue
1. With all the power of heart and tongue,
I’ll praise my Maker in my song;
Angels shall hear the notes I’ll raise,
Approve the song and join the praise.
2. I’ll sing thy truth and mercy, Lord;
I’ll sing the wonders of thy word;
Not all thy works and names below
So much thy power and glory show.
3. To God I cried when troubles rose;
He heard me and subdued my foes;
He did my rising fears control,
And strength diffused through all my soul.
4. Amidst a thousand snares I stand,
Upheld and guided by thy hand;
Thy words my fainting soul revive,
And keep my dying faith alive.
