LyicsTHE Lord Jehovah unto all
His goodness doth declare
And over all his other works
His tender mercies are.
Thee all thy works shall paise, O Lord,
And thee thy saints shall bless;
They shall thy kingdom's glory show,
Thy pow'r by speech express:
To make the sons of men to know
His acts done mightily,
And of his kingdom th' excellent
And glorious majesty.
Thy kingdom shall for ever stand,
Thy reign through ages all.
God raiseth all that are bow'd down,
Upholdeth all that fall.
The eyes of all things wait o thee,
The giver of all good;
And thou, in time convenient,
Bestows't on them their food:
Thine hand thou op'nest lib'rally,
Thy bounty well contrives
Enough to satisy the need
Of ev'ry thing that lives.
The Lord is just in all his ways,
Holy in his works all.
God's near to all that call on him,
In truth that on him call.
He will accomplish the desire,
Of those that do him fear:
He also will deliver them,
And he their cry will hear.
The Lord preserves all who him love,
That nought can them annoy;
But he all those that wicked are
Will utterly destroy.
My mouth the praises of the Lord
To publish cease shall never:
Let all flesh bless his holy name
For ever and for ever.
