The Excellency of God

Verse 1

My God, I will extol Thee And ever bless Thy Name; Each day will I give thanks to Thee And all Thy praise proclaim. Great is the Lord and mighty, And highly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable, Above our knowledge raised.

Verse 2

To every generation Thy glory shall be told, Thy honor and Thy majesty In memory I will hold. Thy mighty power and greatness Shall all mankind confess, And tell the story of Thy love, And sing Thy righteousness.

Verse 3

The Lord is very gracious And most compassionate; His anger is most slow to rise, His mercy is most great. On all His helpless creatures His tender mercies rest; By all His works He shall be praised, By all His saints be blest.

Verse 4

The glory of His kingdom Proclaimed abroad shall be, That all may know His mighty deeds And glorious majesty. His kingdom is eternal, His throne shall stand secure, And His dominion without end Through ages shall endure.
