12. Blest Be Thou, O God of Israel

1 Blest be thou, O God of Israel,
Thou, our Father and our Lord!
Blest thy majesty forever;
Ever be thy name adored!

2 Thine, O Lord, are power and greatness;
Glory, victory are thine own;
All is thine in earth and heaven;
Over all thy boundless throne.

3 Riches come of thee, and honor;
Power and might to thee belong—
Thine it is to make us prosper,
Only thine to make us strong.

Amen.
