Original text and translations

English text

1. Thy Mercies, Lord, shall be my Song,
My Song on them shall ever dwell
To Ages yet unborn my Tongue
Thy never failing Truth shall tell.

2. Thus spak'st thou, by thy Prophets Voices
With David I a League have made,
To him, my Servant and my Choice,
By solemn Oath this Grant convey'd.

3. While Earth,and Seas,and Skies endure
Thy Seed shall in my Sight remain;
To them thy Throne I will ensure,
They shall to endless Ages reign.

4. For such stupendous Truth and Love
Both Heav'n and Earth just Praises owe,
By Choirs of Angels sung above,
And by assembled Saints below.

5. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom Earth and Heav'n adore,
Be Glory, as it was of old,
Is now, and shall be evermore.
