O Lord, I Sing With Lips and Heart

O Lord, I sing with lips and heart, Joy of my soul, to Thee; To earth Thy knowledge I impart As it is known to me. 2. Thou art the Fount of grace, I know, And Spring so full and free Whence saving health and goodness flow Each day so bounteously. 3. For what have all that live and move Through this wide world below That does not from Thy bounteous love, O heavenly Father, flow? 4. Who built the lofty firmament? Who spread the expanse of blue? By whom are to our pastures sent Refreshing rain and dew?

5. Who warmeth us in cold and frost? Who shields us from the wind? Who orders it that fruit and grain We in their season find? 6. Who is it life and health bestows? Who keeps us with His hand In golden peace, wards off war's woes From our dear native land? 7. O Lord, of this and all our store Thou art the Author blest; Thou keepest watch before our door While we securely rest. 8. Thou feedest us from year to year And constant dost abide; With ready help in time of fear Thou standest at our side.

12. Our deepest need dost Thou supply And all that lasts for aye; Thou leadest to our home on high, When hence we pass away.
