- 1God, my King, Thy might confessing,
- Ever will I bless Thy Name;
- Day by day Thy throne addressing,
- Still will I Thy praise proclaim.
- 2Honour great our God befitteth;
- Who His majesty can reach?
- Age to age His works transmitteth,
- Age to age His power shall reach.
- 3They shall talk of all Thy glory,
- On Thy might and greatness dwell,
- Speak of Thy dread acts the story,
- And Thy deeds of wonder tell.
- 4Nor shall fail from memory's treasure,
- Works by love and mercy wrought,
- Works of love surpassing measure,
- Works of mercy passing thought.
- 5Full of kindness and compassion,
- Slow to anger, vast in love,
- God is good to all creation;
- All His works in goodness prove.
- 6All Thy works, O Lord, shall bless Thee;
- Thee shall all Thy saints adore:
- King supreme shall they confess Thee,
- And proclaim Thy sovereign power.
