PSALM 145. v. 1–7, 11–13. First Part. (C. M.) The same.
[Long as I live I'll bless thy name]
I
Long as I live I'll bless thy name,My King, my God of love;
My work and joy shall be the same
In the bright world above.
II
Great is the Lord, his power unknown,And let his praise be great:
I'll sing the honours of thy throne,
Thy works of grace repeat.
III
Thy grace shall dwell upon my tongue;And while my lips rejoice,
The men that hear my sacred song
Shall join their cheerful voice.
IV
Fathers to sons shall teach thy name,And children learn thy ways;
Ages to come thy truth proclaim,
And nations sound thy praise.
V
Thy glorious deeds of ancient dateShall thro' the world be known;
Thine arm of power, thy heavenly state,
With public splendor shown.
VI
The world is manag'd by thy hands,Thy saints are rul'd by love;
And thine eternal kingdom stands,
Tho' rocks and hills remove.
