Lyics

THY kingdom, Lord, forever 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 works, immortal rays

Of pow'r 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.
