Its thankful tribute to present;
And, with my heart, my voice I'll raise
To Thee, my God, in songs of praise.
2 Awake, my glory; harp and lute,
No longer let your strings be mute:
And I, my tuneful part to take,
Will with the early dawn awake.
3 thy praises, Lord, I will resound
to all the listening nations round:
Thy mercy highest heaven transcends,
Thy truth beyond the clouds extends.
4 Be Thou, O God, exalted high;
And as Thy glory fills the sky,
So let it be on earth displayed,
Till Thou art here, as there, obeyed. Topics: The Christian Life Praise Languages: English

Nahum Tate
1652 - 1715 Person Name: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Author of "O God, my heart is fixed, 'tis bent" in The Oxford American Hymnal for Schools and Colleges Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715.
