1 The King, O Lord, with Songs of Praise,
Shall in thy Strength rejoice,
And, blest with thy Salvation, raise
To Heav'n his chearful Voice.
2 The sure Defence thro' Nations round
Has spread his glorious Name;
And his successful Actions crown'd
With Majesty and Fame.
3 Then let the King on GOD alone
For timely Aid rely;
His Mercy shall support the Throne,
And all our Wants supply.
4 But, righteous Lord, his stubborn Foes
Shall feel thy dreadful Hand;
Thy vengeful Arm shall find out those,
That hate his mild Command.
5 When thou against them dost engage,
Thy just, but dreadful Doom
Shall, like a fiery Oven's Rage,
Their Hopes and them consume.
6 Thus, Lord, thy wond'rous Power declare,
And thus exalt thy Fame;
While we glad Songs of Praise prepare
For thine Almighty Name.
