Tune: Regent Square
('Light's abode, celestial Salem')
Psalm 145 v.10-18
********
All your works shall praise you, O Lord
Saints shall bless you, true your word
They shall too speak of the glory
Of your kingdom, so it be
And shall talk of all your power
For it decreases no hour
They shall make known unto mankind
His mighty acts, so they find
And the glorious majesty
Of His kingdom, whole and free
Your kingdom, Lord, everlasting
Is through all eternity
And your dominion it endures
Through all generations lores* (*cultures, stories, etc)
The Lord upholds all the that fall
Raises up those bowed down, small
The eyes of all wait, look to you
You give them food, drink anew
You open your hand, satisfy
Providing for us, you nigh
Satisfy desire of every
Living thing that there may be
Created by your good hand sure
You will ten them evermore
The Lord righteous in all His ways
Through the years, the nights and days
In all His works He be holy
And gracious unto us, see
He night to all that on Him call
In truth, they helped, shall not fall
