Lyrics

Now bless­èd be Je­ho­vah, God,
The God of Is­ra­el,
Who on­ly do­eth won­drous works,
In glo­ry that ex­cel,
Who on­ly do­eth won­drous works,
In glo­ry that ex­cel.

And bless­èd be His glo­ri­ous name
To all eter­ni­ty;
The whole earth let His glo­ry fill.
Amen: So let it be.
The whole earth let His glo­ry fill.
Amen: So let it be.
