With my whole heart, my God and King,
thy praise I will proclaim;
Before the gods with joy I'll sing,
and bless thy holy name
I'll worship at thy sacred seat;
and, with thy love inspired,
The praises of thy truth repeat,
o'er all thy works admired.
Thou graciously inclin'dst thine ear,
when I to thee did cry;
And, when my soul was pressed with fear,
didst inward strength supply.
Therefore shall ev'ry earthly prince
thy name with praise pursue,
Whom these admired events convince
that all thy works are true.
They all thy wondrous ways, O Lord,
with cheerful songs shall bless;
And all thy glorious acts record,
thy awful pow'r confess.
For God, although enthroned on high,
does thence the poor respect;
The proud far off his scornful eye
beholds with just neglect.
Tho' I with troubles am oppressed,
e shall my foes disarm;
Relieve my soul when most distressed,
and keep me safe from harm.
The Lord, whose mercies ever last,
shall fix my happy state;
And, mindful of his favors past,
shall his own work complete.
