The King, O lord, with songs of praise
shall in thy strength rejoice;
With thy salvation crowned, shall raise
to heav'n his cheerful voice.
For thou, what'er his lips request,
not only didst impart;
But hast with thy acceptance blest
the wishes of his heart.
Thy goodness and thy tender care
have all his hopes outgone;
A crown of gold thou mad'st him wear<
and sett'st it firmly on.
He prayed for life, and thou, O Lord,
didst his short span extend;
And graciously to him afford
a life that ne'er shall end.
Thy sure defense through nations round
has spread his glorious name;
And his successful actions crowned
with majesty and fame.
Eternal blessings thou bestow'st,
and mak'st his joys increase;
Whilst thou to him unclouded show'st
the brightness of thy face.
