Lyrics
[intro: organ prelude, piano joins softly]
[verse 1]
With trembling lips we make our plea—
O Thou Most High, examine me.
Through trials of Thine own design,
Judge well my heart, renew my mind.
Yet prove us not apart from grace,
As we in homage seek Thy face;
For kindness leads our pilgrim eyes
Down Truth’s plain path that satisfies.
[refrain: steady 3/4 rhythm, piano firm, organ gentle]
Grace to glorify the King,
All our hearts with gladness sing;
Through the cross our souls are clean—
Grace to glorify the King.
[verse 2]
We shall not walk nor shall we go
With earth’s vain sons who scorn Thee so;
But to Thine altar, Lord, we come,
Made pure through Christ, the Holy One.
To honor Thee such as we can,
With frail praise born of mortal man;
We tell with joy, with thankful voice,
The wonders that make saints rejoice.
[refrain]
Grace to glorify the King,
All our hearts with gladness sing;
Through the cross our souls are clean—
Grace to glorify the King.
[verse 3 – organ builds, congregation full]
Within Thy house our hearts shall bow,
In adoration we avow:
To guard the honor of Thy name,
And never bring Thee cause for shame.
Lord, make our breath, our joy, our meat,
To linger in Thy presence sweet;
Through blessings, trials, joy, and pain,
By grace and truth we shall remain.
[final refrain – full organ, majestic cadence]
Grace to glorify the King,
Till heav’n and earth together sing;
All our breath Thy praise shall bring—
Grace to glorify the King.
[outro: organ holds tonic, piano echo cadence]
