[1]
I'le honour thee oh God my king,
And, laud thy Name for aye:
Ev'n to thy Name, I'le alway sing,
And praise thee ev'rie day.
For, thou art great, beyond all bounds,
And, great, thy praises are:
Through Ages all, thy glory sounds,
Thy wonders they declare.
2
I'le, also, shew thy royall state,
And thy rare works vnfolde;
That men thy wonders may relate,
When I thy powre have tolde:
That, they thy Righteousnes may show,
And, much, thy glorie minde;
For, thou to anger, Lord, art slowe,
Right gratious, meek, & kinde.
3
Thy goodnes, & thy mercies, be
In all thy works exprest;
Ev'n all thy works, Lord, honour thee,
And, thee, thy Saints have blest.
Thy kingdomes glory they will showe,
And, sing thy greatnes forth;
That, all mankinde thy powre may knowe,
And, see thy Kingdoms worth.
4
For, thou for evermore shalt raigne,
And, rule through Ages all.
The weak, oh Lord, thou wilt sustaine
And, lift vp those, that fall.
On God, all creatures fixe their eyes,
And, fedd, in season be;
For, all things living to suffice,
An open hand hath hee.
5
The Lord is just in all his waies;
His works, are sacred all.
Night them who call on him, he staies;
Nigh those, who truly call,
Their hopes, who fear him, he effects;
Ands, hears, & saves all those:
Ev'n those who love him, God protects;
But, sinners overthrowes.
6
Oh let my mouth due praise, therefore,
Vnto the Lord expresse;
And, let all flesh, for evermore,
His holy Name confesse.
