Text:Psalm CXLV

172. Psalm CXLV

1 The Lord our God most gracious is,
In him compassions also flow;
In mercy he is rich to bless,
But unto anger he is slow.

2 To all the Lord is very good,
O'er all his works his mercy is.
Thy works all praise to thee afford:
Thy saints, O Lord, thy name shall bless

3 Thy kingdom's glory they shall show,
They also shall thy power tell.
That no men's sons his deeds may know,
His kingdom's grace that doth excel.

4 Thy kingdom hath no end at all,
It shall to ages all remain.
The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
The cast-down raiseth up again.
