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 tiches

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]
