1 Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God,
In every part with praise,
That my whole being may proclaim
Thy being and Thy ways.
2 Not for the lip of praise alone,
Nor e'en the praising heart,
I ask, but for a life made up
Of praise in every part:
3 Praise in the common things of life,
Its goings out and in;
Praise in each duty and each deed,
However small and mean.
4 Fill every part of me with praise;
Let all my being speak
Of Thee and of Thy love, O Lord,
Poor though I be and weak.
5 So shall no part of day or night
From sacredness be free,
But all my life, in every step,
Be fellowship with Thee.
