Text: | God, my King, thy might confessing |
Author: | Richard Mant |
Tune: | STUTTGART |
1 God, my King, thy might confessing,
Ever will I bless thy Name;
Day by day thy throne addressing,
Still will I thy praise proclaim.
2 Honor great our God befitteth;
Who his majesty can reach?
Age to age his work transmitteth,
Age to age his pow'r shall teach.
3 They 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.
4 Nor shall fail from mem'ry's treasure
Works by love and mercy wrought;
Works of love surpassing measure,
Works of mercy passing thought.
5 Full of kindness and compassion,
Slow to anger, vast in love,
God is good to all creation;
All his works his goodness prove.
6 All thy works, O Lord, shall bless thee;
Thee shall all thy saints adore:
King supreme shall they confess thee,
And proclaim thy sovereign pow'r.
Amen.
