All kings shall seek with one accord
in his good grace to stand,
And all the people of the world
obey at his command:
For he the needy sort doth save
that unto him do call,
Also the simple folk that have
no help of man at all.
He taketh pity on the poor
that are with need oppressed,
He doth preserve them evermore,
and bring their souls to rest.
He shall redeem their souls from dread,
from fraud, from wrong, and might;
Also their blood that shall be shed,
is precious in his sight.
But he shall live, and they shall bring
to him of Saba's gold;
He shall be honored as a king,
and daily be extolled.
The mighty mountains of his land
of corn shall bear such throng,
That it like cedar-trees shall stand
in Libanus full long.
Their cities also well shall speed,
the fruits thereof surpass;
In plenty it shall so exceed,
and spring as green as grass.
For ever they shall praise his Name,
while that the sun is light;
And think them happy through the same:
all folk shall bless his might.
Praise ye the Lord of hosts, and sing
to Israel's God each one;
For he doth ev'ry wondrous thing,
yea, he himself alone:
And blessed be his holy Name
all times eternally;
Let all the earth still praise the same,
Amen, Amen, say I,
