Lyics

I'LL thee extol, my God, O King;

I'll bless thy name always.

Thee will I bless each day, and will

Thy name for ever praise.



Great is the Lord, much to be prais'd;

His greatness search exceeds.

Race unto race shall praise thy works,

And shew thy mighty deeds.



I of thy glorious majesty

The honor will record;

I'll speak of all thy mighty works,

Which wondrous are, O Lord.



Men of thine acts the might shall show,

Thine acts that dreadful are;

And I, thy glory to advance,

Thy greatness will declare.



The mem'ry of thy goodness great

They largely shall express;

With songs of praise they shall extol

Thy perfect righteousness.



The Lord is very gracious,

In him compassions flow,

In mercy he is very great,

And is to anger slow.
