Lyics

O GREATLY bless'd the people are

The joyful sound that know;

In brightness of the face, O Lord,

They ever on shall go.



They in thy name shall all the day

Rejoice exceedingly;

And in thy righteousness shall they

Exalted be on high.



Because the glory of their strength

Doth only stand in thee;

And in thy favor shall our horn

And pow'r exalted be.



For God is our defence; and he

To us doth safety bring:

The Holy One of Israel

Is our almighty King.
