“O Lord, thou art my God and King;”


 
Scottish Metrical Psalm 145 (2nd version singing the first 5 stanzas)

(1)

O Lord, thou art my God and King;
Thee will I magnify and praise;
I will thee bless, and gladly sing
Until thy holy name always.

(2)

Each day I rise I will thee bless,
And praise thy name time without end,
Much to be prais'd, and great God is;
His greatness none can comprehend.

(3)

Race shall thy works praise unto race,
The mighty acts show done by thee.
I will speak of thy glorious grace,
And honour of thy majesty;

(4)

Thy wondrous works I will record,
By men the might shall be extoll'd
Of all thy dreadful acts, O Lord:
And I thy greatness will unfold.

(5)

They utter shall abundantly
The mem'ry of thy goodness great;
And shall sing praises cheerfully,
Whilst they thy righteousness relate.
