Forever shall thy throne endure,
Thy promise stands forever sure;
And everlasting holiness
Becomes the dwellings of thy grace.
Forever shall thy throne endure,
Thy promise stands forever sure;
And everlasting holiness
Becomes the dwellings of thy grace.
Your testimonies are very sure;
Holiness adorns Your house,
O Lord, forever.
O Lord, how great are Your works!
Your thoughts are very deep.
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
And yet—blessed be the Lord forever! Amen and amen!
O Lord, you are so good and kind, so ready to forgive, so full of mercy for all who ask your aid.
I have called you all “gods” and “sons of the Most High.”
I’ll meditate his works of old,
Who reigns in heav’n above,
I’ll hear his ancient wonders told,
And learn to trust his love.
Great God, whose universal sway
the known and unknown worlds obey,
Entrust the kingdom to your Son,
Extend his power, exalt his throne
My God, my everlasting hope,
I live upon Thy truth;
Thine hands have held my childhood up,
And strengthened all my youth.
Now shall my solemn vows be paid
To that Almighty Pow’r,
That heard the long requests I made
In my distressful hour
O bless our God, and never cease;
Ye saints, fulfil his praise;
He keeps our life, maintains our peace,
And guides our doubtful ways
