Text:My God, my King, Thy various praise
Tune:OLD HUNDRED

70. My God, my King, Thy various praise

1 My 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.

2 The 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.

3 Let distant times and nations raise
The long succession of Thy praise;
And unborn ages make my song
The joy and labor of my tongue.

4 But who can speak Thy wondrous deeds?
Thy greatness all my thoughts exceeds:
Vast and unsearchable Thy ways,
Vast and immortal be Thy praise.
