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.
