C.M.

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 shalt Thou, Lord, from me, e’en me,

Receive the glory due;

And so shall I begin on earth

The song forever new.

6

So shall no part of day or night

From sacredness be free;

But all my life, in every step,

Be fellowship with Thee.
