Some lyrics from hymns which have inspired me:

    Be thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart.
    Naught be all else to me save that thou art—
    Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
    Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

* * *

    Oh Lord my God, when I, in awesome wonder,
    Consider all the worlds thy hands have made,
    I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder:
    thy power throughout the universe displayed.
    Then sings my soul, my savior, God, to thee:
    “How great thou art! How great thou art!”

* * *

    My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought—
    My sin, not in part but the whole—
    Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more!
    Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, oh my soul!

* * *

    Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
    Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
    Join with all nature in manifold witness
    To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

* * *

    This is all my hope and peace:
    Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.
    This is all my righteousness:
    Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.
