My heart would repay thee with love;
O, teach me to walk in thy ways,

And fit me to see thee above:

For Jesus has bid all nations come nigh,
He will not despise such a sinner as I.

That here on this earth I should stay,
I pray thee to guard me by night,

And help me to serve thee by day;
And when all the days of my life shall have past,
Receive me in heaven to praise thee at last.

The ocean's tides to ebb and flow?

And day and night to keep their bounds
And changing seasons know their rounds?

Who formed this wond'rous globe of earth,
And breathed throughout this mighty whole
The likeness of a living soul.

4 Bow then to God-O all that live!

To God eternal praises give!

Who fashioned by his mighty hand,

Sun, moon, and stars; the sea and land.
