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.
