(\'All praise to thee, for thou, O King divine\')

Psalm 48 v.9-14

*****************

We have thought of your lovingkindness, Lord

In the midst of your temple, heard your word

As your name is great, so is your praise great

You of royal estate

 

Your praise extends unto earth\'s farthest ends

Your hand full of righteousness, all depends

On you for life, let mount Zion rejoice

You have made us your choice

 

Let Judah be glad, it where Zion placed

They know your riighteous judgements not effaced

Walk about Zion, tell of her towers

They strong through all the hours

 

Make her bulwarks, defences, they secure

For the Lord God dwells there for evermore

Consider her palaces, that you may

Tell them to future days* (*future generations)

 

For this is our God for ever, ever

He will forsake His dwelling place never

He will be our guide even unto death

Till human\'s final breath
