O Lord, Thou Art My God and King

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: John Hatton, 1793

O Lord

Thou art my God and king

And I will ev­er bless Thy name.

I will ex­tol Thee ev­ery day

And ev­er­more Thy praise pro­claim.

The Lord is great­ly to be praised.

His great­ness is be­yond our thoughts.

From age to age the sons of men

Shall tell the won­ders God has wrought.

Upon Thy glo­ri­ous ma­jes­ty

And won­drous works my mind shall dwell.

Thy deeds fill all the world with awe

And of Thy great­ness I will tell.

Thy match­less good­ness and Thy grace

Thy peo­ple shall com­me­mo­rate

And all Thy truth and right­eous­ness

My joy­ful song shall ce­le­brate.

The Lord our God is rich in grace

Most ten­der and com­pas­sion­ate;

His an­ger is most slow to rise

His lov­ing­kind­ness is most great.

The Lord is good in all His ways

His crea­tures know His con­stant care;

To all His works His love ex­tends

All men His ten­der mer­cies share.

Thy works shall give Thee thanks

O Lord

Thy saints Thy migh­ty acts shall show

Till o’er the earth the sons of men

Thy king­dom

pow­er and glo­ry know.

Eternal is Thy king­dom

Lord

Forever strong and ev­er sure;

While ge­ne­ra­tions rise and die

Shall Thy do­min­ion still en­dure.
