At Thy sacred altar bending,
                                        
                                        God, my God, my boundless joy,
                                        
                                        Harp and voice, in worship blending,
                                        
                                        For Thy praise will I employ.
                                        
                                        O my soul, why art thou grieving?
                                        
                                        What disquiets and dismays?
                                        
                                        Hope in God; His help receiving,
                                        
                                        I shall yet my Savior praise.
