[verse 3] Great God, great praises meriting,
VVhose greatness none can reach:
[verse 4] One age shall praise
Thy works and waies,
To thy succeeding Church.
Thy mighty acts shall they recite,
[verse 5] And I will here discuss
The fame of thy
Great Majesty:
And works miraculous.
[verse 6] Thy actions of such wondrous might,
Men shall speak of the same:
They dreadfull are;
And I'l declare
The greatness of thy Name.
[verse 7] The mem'ry of thy goodness great,
They fully shall make known:
In songs express
Thy righteousness.
[verse 8] The Lord's a gracious one.
The LORD is easie to intreat,
[verse 9] Kind, patient, good to all:
His mercies do
Extend unto
His works in generall.
[verse 10] Thy works shall praise thee every one,
Thy Saints thy Name shall bless:
[verse 11] They shall proclame
Thy Kingdoms fame,
And pow'rs Almightines.
[verse 12] To make thy mighty actions known
To mans posteritie:
And celebrate

The glorious state
Of thy supremacy.
