Confitebor tibi

Verse 1

With heart I do accord to praise and laud the Lord, In presence of the just: for great his works are found, To search them such are bound as do him love and trust.

Verse 2

His works are glorious, and righteousness to us, It ever doth endure: His wondrous works he would, We still remember should; his mercy is full sure.

Verse 3

Such as to him bear love, a portion fair below He hath up for them laid: For this they shall well find, He will them have in mind, and keep them as he said.

Verse 4

For he did not disdain his works to shew them plain, By lightnings and by thunders: When he the heathens' land Did give into their hand, where they beheld his wonders.

Verse 5

Of all his works ensu'th both judgement, right and truth, Whereto his statutes tend, They are decreed sure For ever to endure, on which we may depend.

Verse 6

Redemption great he gave his people for to save. It also hath appear'd, his promise doth not fail, But evermore prevail; his holy Name be fear'd.

Verse 7

Whoso with heart full fain true wisdom would attain, The Lord fear and obey. Such as his laws do keep, Shall knowledge have full deep; his praise shall last alway.
