What words are meet for me to sing to glorify my Lord?
What song of praise may sinner sound to manifest true love?
Thy peace which passeth understanding all words doth defy;
Have mercy mighty Father on unworthy as such be I.
Wherefore have not I poem of love to pay Thee for Thy Grace?
Can have become my heart and lips a barren thankless place?
Was it not to thank its maker that this soul was made?
Help me mighty Son of God to phrase an accolade.
In spirit doth the soul express its place of true abode.
In spirit doth the heart reside within its treasure trove.
May Thy Holy Spirit invest all that we say and sing;
Have mercy Holy Ghost upon these penitent hearts we bring.
Father bless us that at the last we come ever to reside with Thee.
Jesus Thou art the Son of God who enlightens all eternity.
Holy Spirit it is Thy gift that we may sing, “Jesus Is the Lord.”
O Triune God may all our words, thoughts, and deeds shine and reflect
