1. WE WORSHIP YOU-lf HUMBLE, LORD,
OUR ETERNAL KING.
YOU-lf DIE GIFT-TO-us US LIFE,

Notes: WORSHIP - NDH is clasped over DH [S] and hands circle perpendicular to the chest. For an animated gif of this sign, see Animated dictionary of religious signs - Deaf Missions: Worship.
YOU - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.
ETERNAL - ALWAYS + DH produces STILL in the usual way, and the NDH produces STILL so that it moves back over the shoulder. For a QuickTime file of this sign, see ASL Pro: Eternal.

Lyrics:
1. Humbly Lord we worship you, our eternal King.
You who died to give life, hear us as we sing.
Refrain: Jesus, God and Lord of all, come to us, we pray.
Thus united in your love, may we live this day.
2. Jesus, Lord, we offer you every act this day.
May we live our love for you and your will obey.
3. Lord forgive us all our faults, others we forgive.
May we strive with all our souls, Christian lives to live.
4. May we love you in each soul and each soul in you;
One in our eternal goal, one in all we do.
