HYMN 332. (Psalm 21.)

Argument.

The King's supply and sure defence, Obtain'd by Prayer and Confidence.

THE King rejoyceth to record the comforts of thy might, And in thy saving health, O Lord, How much, shall he delight. Thou gav'st him what his heart desir'd and that important thing, Which he with humble lips requir'd was not deny'd the King.

Blessings of goodness to be sure thou hast on him powr'd down, And made a Crown of Gold most pure his royal head to crown. He askt thee life, and thou didst please to give it in such store, That he might see the length of days, and live for evermore.

Great is his glorious dignity in this thy saving aid, For honour and great majesty thou hast upon him laid, For as one ever blest of God thou didst thy King advance, And thou hast made him wonderous glad with thy sweet countenance.

For on the Lord he doth rely, to see thy promise prov'd. And through thy mercy, O most high, he never shall be mov'd.
