Verse 1

With my whole Heart, my God and King, thy Praise I will proclaim; Before the Gods with Joy I'll sing, and bless thy holy Name.

Verse 2

I'll worship at thy sacred Seat; and with thy Love inspir'd, The Praises of thy Truth repeat, o'er all thy Works admir'd.

Verse 3

Thou graciously inclin'dst thine Ear, when I to Thee did cry; And when my Soul was press'd with Fear, didst inward Strength supply.

Verse 4

Therefore shall ev'ry earthly Prince thy Name with Praise pursue, Whom these admir'd Events convince that all thy Works are true.

Verse 5

They all thy wond'rous Ways, O Lord, with chearful Songs shall bless; and all thy glorious Acts record, thy awful Pow'r confess.

Verse 6

For God, altho' enthron'd on high, does thence the poor respect; The proud far off, his scornful Eye beholds with just Neglect.

Verse 7

Tho' I with Troubles am oppress'd, he shall my Foes disarm, Relieve my Soul when most distress'd, and keep me safe from Harm.

Verse 8

The Lord, whose Mercies ever last, shall fix my happy State; And mindful of his Favours past, shall his own Work compleat.
