Lyics

Thy kingdom, Lord, for ever stands,

While earthly thrones decay;

And time submits to thy commands,

While ages roll away.



Thy sov'reign bounty freely gives

Its unexhausted store;

And universal nature lives

On thy sustaining pow'r.



Holy and just in all thy ways

Thy providence divine;

In all thy words, 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.
