P145a. I'll thee extol, my God, O King

1 I’ll thee extol, my God, O King;
I’ll bless thy name always.
2 Thee will I bless each day, and will
thy name for ever praise.
3 Great is the Lord, much to be praised;
his greatness search exceeds.
4 Race unto race shall praise thy works,
and show thy mighty deeds.

5 I of thy glorious majesty
the honour will record;
I’ll speak of all thy mighty works,
which wondrous are, O Lord.
6 Men of thine acts the might shall show,
thine acts that dreadful are;
And I, thy glory to advance,
thy greatness will declare.

7 The memory of thy goodness great
they largely shall express;
with songs of praise they shall extol
thy perfect righteousness.
