When I rise in the wake of the morning
When I lay my head to rest in the early evening
This one thing have I determined
From this day till I'm gone

From the rising of the Son to the going down
The Name of the Lord our God is to be praised
From the rising of the Song to the going down
The Name of the Lord our God is to be praised

Though I carry a heavy burden
Even though this life sometimes can be uncertain
Still I choose to trust my Savior
From this day till I'm gone

Gonna lift my voice to heaven
Gonna sing with all the clouds
Gonna tell of Christ my Savior
Gonna shout out loud
