One of King David\'s prayers
One of his last ones he shares
With us, says, Blessed be you
Lord God our father, e\'er true
Yours, Lord, is the greatness
And the power, we bless
You, yours be the glory
And too the victory
And lasting majesty
For all in heaven and earth be
Yours, and yours truly we
Acknowledge your kingdom be
You are exalted o\'er
All things for evermore
Both honour and riches
Come from you, sure is this
And over all you reign
In your hand we do see plain
That therein is power
And might through every hour
And you are able to
Make great, give strength anew
Now therefore thanks we give
To you, praise, you e\'er live
We praise your glorious name
It be of an endless fame
But who are we, so small
That you should deign to give all?
All this store for Temple
Building, here given all
Unto us by your hand
Solomon shall build grand [Temple]
