145 (2) | Psalm 145 Version 2 | CM | |
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. |
|||
2 | 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. |
||
3 | Thy grace shall dwell upon my tongue; And, while my lips rejoice, Many who hear my sacred song Shall join their cheerful voice. |
||
4 | Fathers to sons shall teach Thy name, And children learn Thy ways, Ages to come Thy Truth proclaim, And nations sound Thy praise. |
||
5 | Thy glorious deeds of ancient date Shall through the world be known; Thine arm of power, Thy heavenly state, With public splendour shown. |
||
6 | This world is governed by Thy hands, Thy saints are ruled by love; And Thine eternal kingdom stands, Though rocks and hills remove. |
||
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
