To bless Jehovah's name,
And every power unite..

Should nobler praises flow,
And every thankful heart
With warm devotion glow:
Your voices raise,
Ye highly blest;
Above the rest

3 Assist me, gracious God;
My heart, my voice inspire;
Then shall I humbly join
the universal choir;
Thy grace can raise
My heart and tongue,
And tune my song
To lively praise.

Amen.
