Thee I'll extol, my God and King,
Thy endless praise proclaim;
This tribute daily I will bring,
and ever bless thy name.
Thou, Lord, beyond compare art great,
and highly to be praised;
Thy majesty, with boundless height,
above our knowledge raised.
Renowned for mighty acts, thy fame
to future times extends;
From age to age thy glorious name
successively descends.
Whilst I thy glory and renown,
and wondrous works express;
The world with me thy might shall own,
and thy great pow'r confess.
The praise, that to thy love belongs
they shall with joy proclaim;
Thy truth of all their grateful songs
shall be the constant theme.
The Lord is good, fresh acts of grace
his pity still supplies;
His anger moves with slowest pace,
his willing mercy flies.
Thy love through earth extends its fame,
to all thy works expressed;
These show thy praise, whilst thy great name is
by thy servants blessed.
They, with the glorious prospect fired,
shall of thy kingdom speak;
And thy great pow'r, by all admired,
their lofty subject make.
God's glorious works of ancient date
shall thus go all be known;
And thus his kingdom's royal state
with public splendor shown.
His steadfast throne, from changes free,
shall stand for ever fast;
His boundless sway no end shall see,
but time itself outlast.
