Psalm 145 (Version 2, Part 1)

Long as I live I'll bless thy Name,

My King, my God of love;

My work and joy shall be the same

In the bright world above.

Great is the Lord, his power unknown,

And let his praise be great:

I'll sing the honours of thy throne,

Thy works of grace repeat.

Thy grace shall dwell upon my tongue;

And while my lips rejoice,

The men that hear my sacred song

Shall join their cheerful voice.

Fathers to Sons shall teach thy Name,

And children learn thy ways;

Ages to come thy truth proclaim,

And nations sound thy praise.

Thy glorious deeds of ancient date

Shall thro' the world be known;

Thine arm of power, thy heavenly state,

With public splendor shown.

The world is manag'd by thy hands,

Thy saints are rul'd by love;

And thine eternal kingdom stands,

Tho' rocks and hills remove.
