I'd sing His glorious righteousness, In which all perfect heavenly dress My soul shall ever shine, My soul shall ever shine. 3 I'd sing the characters He bears, And all the forms of love He wears, Exalted on His throne. In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all His glories known, Make all His glories known. Amen.
