Edition notes: The original order of staves in the source is 2d. - 1st. - [Instrumental Bass] in the symphonies, and Tenor - [Alto] - Treble - [Bass] - [Instrumental Bass] in the sung sections. The concluding symphony is printed in the source with the 2nd. part given on the Tenor stave: this has been given on the Alto stave in the present edition, and is given at the same octave here as in the source (it has not been transposed by an octave in transcription). The second, third and fourth stanzas of the text are printed after the music in the source and have here been underlaid editorially.

O render thanks and bless the Lord,
Invoke his sacred name:
Acquaint the nations with his deeds,
His matchless deeds proclaim.

Sing to his praise in lofty hymns,
His wondrous works rehearse;
Make them the theme of your discourse
And subject of your verse.

Rejoice in his almighty name,
Alone to be adored;
And let their hearts o'erflow with joy
That humbly seek the Lord.

Seek ye the Lord, his saving strength
Devoutly still implore;
And where he's ever present, seek
His face for evermore.
