Verse 1
Glory to God, whose gracious power
Is in his creature’s weakness shew’d,
Who turns aside the mortal hour,
And bids me live to praise my God!

Verse 2
To praise my God I only live;
To him my residue of days,
His own continued gift I give,
I only live my God to praise.

Verse 3
In love, and pity to my soul,
Thou, Lord, hast snatch’d me from the grave,
Thy powerful touch hath made me whole;
O! Who can as my Saviour save?

Verse 4
Jesu, the Saviour of mankind,
How shall I magnify thy grace,
Which cast my every sin behind,
And brought me to thy Father’s face!

Verse 5
Here I rejoice to bless thy name,
Thy goodness here I live to see:
The grave cannot thy praise proclaim,
The dead can call no souls to thee.

Verse 6
The living, he shall praise thy love;
The living, he thy truth shall own,
As I this day delight to prove,
And make thy faithful mercies known.

Verse 7
Let future times thy name confess
In which I sure salvation have,
And learn from me their God to bless,
So ready, and so strong to save.

Verse 8
The Lord hath sav’d my soul from death,
Then let us sing my grateful songs,
And render with our latest breath
The praise that to my Lord belongs.
