“My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.” (Psalm 71:8, NIV)

My lips, a fountain, pour thy boundless praise,
Thy splendor gleams where morning’s rays ignite,
A crown of stars adorns thy holy ways,
Thy glory blazes through the veil of night.

From mountain peaks to valleys deep and wide,
Thy name resounds in thunder’s mighty call,
The oceans roar, their waves thy strength abide,
Thy mercy lifts the weary from their fall.

Each dawn I sing, my heart a victor’s flame,
No shadow dims the radiance of thy throne,
The heavens shout, exalting thy great name,
Thy love, a fortress, carved in living stone.

All day my tongue thy majesty shall trace,
O King of glory, robed in endless grace.
