Lyics

BLEST be thou, O God of Israel,

Thou, our Father and our Lord,

Blest thy majesty forever,

Ever be thy name adored.



Thine, O Lord, are power and greatness,

Glory, victory are thine own;

All is thine in earth and heaven,

Over all thy boundless throne.



Riches come of thee, and honor,

Power and might to thee belong;

Thine it is to make us prosper,

Only thine to make us strong.



Lord, our God, for these, thy bounties,

Songs of gratitude we raise;

To thy name forever glorious,

Ever we address our praise.
