My song for-ev-er shall re-cord
The ten-der mer-cies of the Lord;
Your faith-ful-ness will I pro-claim,
And ev-ery age shall know your name.
I sing of mer-cies that en-dure,
For-ev-er build-ed firm and sure,
Of faith-ful-ness that nev-er dies,
Es-tab-lished change-less in the skies.
Be-hold God's truth and grace dis-played,
For He has faith-ful cove-nant made,
And He has sworn that Da-vid's Son
Shall ev-er sit up-on His throne:
"For him my mer-cy shall en-dure,
My cove-nant made with Him is sure;
His throne and race I will main-tain
For-ev-er, while the heavens re-main."
Al-might-y God, your loft-y throne
Has jus-tice for its cor-ner-stone,
And shin-ing bright be-fore your face
Are truth and love and bound-less grace.
With bles-sing is the na-tion crowned
Whose peo-ple know the joy-ful sound;
They in the light, O Lord, shall live,
The light your face and fa-vor give.
Your name with glad-ness they con-fess,
Ex-alt-ed in your right-eous-ness;
Their fame and might to you be-long,
For in your fa-vor they are strong.
All glo-ry un-to God we yield,
Je-ho-vah is our Help and Shield;
All praise and ho-nor we will bring
To Is-rael's Ho-ly One, our King.
