My grateful tongue, immortal King!
Thy mercy shall for ever sing;
My verse, to time's remotest day,
Thy truth in sacred notes display.
O say what strength shall vie with thine?
What name among the seats divine,
Of equal excellence possessed,
Thy sovereignty, great God, contest;
Thee, Lord, heaven's host their leader own;
Thee, might unbounded, Thee alone,
With endless majesty has crowned;
And faith unsullied vests thee round,
The heaven above and earth below,
Thee, Lord, their great possessor know:
By thee, this orb to being rose,
And all that nature's bounds enclose.
From thee, amid the aerial space,
The north and south assume their place;
Tis thine the ocean's rage to guide,
And calm at will its swelling tide.
O bless'd the tribes, whose willing ear
Awakes the festal shout to hear;
Who thankful see, where'er they tread,
Thy favouring beams around them spread.
How shall they joy, from day to day,
Thy boundless mercy to display,
Thy righteousness, indulgent Lord,
With holy confidence record!
O wise in all thy works! thy name
Let man's whole race aloud proclaim;
And grateful through the length of days,
In ceaseless songs repeat thy praise.
