Love for God's Name.
Great God, I love Thy holy name,
And all Thy blessings too;
I will take heed to all my ways,
And what I speak or do.
And all Thy blessings too;
I will take heed to all my ways,
And what I speak or do.
Because thy name is music sweet,
And every note's a charm;
Because creation is upheld
By Thy Almighty arm.
And every note's a charm;
Because creation is upheld
By Thy Almighty arm.
Therefore I love Thy holy name,
To me there's naught so sweet:
While angels worship round thy throne,
I'll worship at Thy feet.
To me there's naught so sweet:
While angels worship round thy throne,
I'll worship at Thy feet.
Thy name is all on earth below,
Is all in heaven above;
And in Thy holy word, we know
That Thou art only love.
Is all in heaven above;
And in Thy holy word, we know
That Thou art only love.
Islay Walden, April 28, 1877.
