The first part The second part
Thee will I laud my God and king,
and bless thy name for aye.
 
2 For ever will I praise thy name,
and bless thee day by day.
 
3 Great is the Lord most worthy praise,
his greatness none can reach.
 
4 From race to race they shall thy works
praise, and thy power preach.
 
5 I of thy glorious Majesty,
the beauty will record:
And meditate upon thy works,
most wonderful O Lord.
 
6 And they shall of thy power and of
thy fearful acts declare:
And I to publish all abroad,
thy greatness will not spare.
 
7 And they into the mention shall
break of thy goodness great:
And I aloud thy righteousness,
in singing shall repeat.
 
8 The Lord our God is gracious,
and merciful also:
Of great abounding mercy, and
to anger he is slow.
 
9 Yea good to all, and all his works
his mercy doth exceed:
 
10 Lo all thy works do praise thee Lord,
and do thy honor spread.
 
11 Thy Saints do bless thee, and they do
thy kingdoms glory show:
 
12 And blaze thy power to cause the sons
of men thy power to know.
13 And of his mighty kingdom eke,
to spread the glorious praise:
Thy kingdom Lord a kingdom is,
that doth endure always.
 
14 And thy dominion through each age,
endures without decay:
The Lord upholdeth them that fall,
their sliding he doth stay.
 
15 The eyes of all do wait on thee,
thou dost them all relieve:
And thou to each sufficing food,
in season due dost give.
 
16 Thou openest thy plenteous hand,
and bounteously dost fill:
All things whatsoever do live,
with gifts of thy good will.
 
17 Lord is just in all his ways,
his works are holy all:
18 Near all he is that call on him,
in truth that on him call.
 
19 He the desires with they require,
that fear him will fulfill:
And he will hear them when they cry,
and save them all he will.
 
20 The Lord preserves all those, to him
that bear a loving heart:
But he them all that wicked are,
will utterly subvert.
 
21 My thankful mouth shall gladly speak
the praises of the Lord:
All flesh to praise his holy name,
forever shall accord.
