********
Sing a song unto God's glory
Honourable, worthy, let it be
He who reigns for e'er and ever
He Sovereign, loses sway ne'er
For His glories, bright and shining
Let each creature to Him sing
O the depths, the riches displayed
Both, of His wisdom arrayed
And His knowledge, here fathomless
He with mercies shall us bless
How unsearchable His judgements
Humans fully cannot sense
And His ways past finding out now!
So to Him we humbly bow
For who has mind of the Lord known
Except what He has us shown?
Or who His counsellor has been
What human has all things seen?
Or who has to Him first given
That God should repay Him then?
For 'tis foolish, vanity, pride
There is none but God beside
Never He any man's debtor
Yet He granting man's heart-cure
Praise and glory everlasting
To our God, He is our King
For of Him and though Him, see
And to to Him are all things, be
To whom glory now and ever
All may worship, glorious share
