Christ My Song - 242
No language can express, O Lord - I will praise the Lord at all times (Carl Johann Philipp Spitta/Richard Massie/
Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
I will praise the Lord at all times.
1. No language can express, O Lord,
how good thou art and true!
Therefore with harp and tuneful chord
I will my thanks renew. PDF - Midi
2. Thou dwellest in thy Israël,
enthroned 'mid praise and song,
and my full heart shall also tell
thy praises all day long.
3. Touch heart and lip with a live coal
from thine own altar, Lord,
that all thy mercies to my soul
I may with joy record.
4. Keep constantly my heart and voice
in tune to sing thy praise,
and let all those therein rejoice,
who listen to my lays.
5. Yea, let them love thee, and to thee
sing hymns and praises too,
and say to others, "Taste and see
how good he is and true!"
Richard Massie, Lyra Domestica II, 1864, 3-4.
