Lyics

Thy kingdom, Lord, forever stands,

While earthly thrones decay;

And time submits to thy commands,

While ages roll away.



Thy sovereign bounty freely gives

Its unexhausted store;

And universal nature lives

On thy sustaining power.



Holy and just in all thy ways,

Thy providence divine;

In all thy works, immortal rays

Of power and mercy shine.



The praise of God-delightful theme!-

Shall fill my heart and tongue;

Let all creation bless his name

In one eternal song.
