I will extol Thee, my God, O King, and I will bless Thy name for ever and ever.
Psalm 145:1
Words: From The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 394.
Music: Noel, traditional air, arranged by Arthur S. Sullivan, 1871 (🔊 pdf nwc).
I will extol Thee, O my God, and praise Thee, O my king;
Yea, every day and evermore Thy praises will I sing.
Great is the Lord, our mighty God, and greatly to be praised;
His greatness is unsearchable, above all glory raised.
Each generation to the next shall testimony bear,
And to Thy praise, from age to age, Thy wondrous acts declare;
Upon Thy glorious majesty and honor I will dwell,
And all Thy grand and glorious works and all Thy greatness tell.
Thy mighty acts and terrible shall men with awe confess;
Of Thy great goodness they shall sing, and perfect righteousness.
Most gracious and compassionate is God who reigns above;
His wrath is ever slow to rise, unbounded is His love.
