LyicsLet every tongue thy goodness speak,
Thou sovereign Lord of all,
Thy strength'ning hands uphold the weak,
And raise the poor that fall.
When sorrows bow the spirit down,
When virtue lies distress'd
Beneath the proud oppressor's frown,
Thou giv'st the mourner rest.
Thou know'st the pains thy servants feel,
Thou hear'st thy children's cry;
And their best wishes to fulfil
Thy grace is ever nigh.
Thy mercy never shall remove
From men of heart sincere:
Thou sav'st the souls whose humble love
Is joined with holy fear.
My lips shall dwell upon thy praise,
And spread thy fame abroad;
Let all the sons of Adam rise
The honours of their God.
