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.
