Songs

Let me sing, for the glory of heaven

35
				P.M.


1	Let me sing, for the glory of heaven
	Like a sunbeam has swept o’er my heart;
	I would praise Thee for sins all forgive,
	For Thy love, which shall never depart.

2	If Thy works praise Thee, Giver of good,
	If the sun shines his praise unto Thee,
	If the wind, as it sigh thro’ the wood,
	Makes a murmur of song from each tree.

3	Then these lips, sure, a tribute shall bring,
	Though unworthy the praises must be;
	Shall all nature be vocal and sing,
	And no psalm of rejoicing from me?

4	O wonderful, glorious Redeemer!
	I would worship Thee, Saviour divine;
	And rejoice, though surrounded with praises,
	Thou wilt still hear a song such as mine:

5	A song of a sinner forgiven,
	And a song that is music to Thee;
	A song of a pilgrim to heaven,
	Yes, a song from a sinner like me.
