Let all within me bless His name, Who maketh thee partaker Of mercies more than thou dar'st claim.

In heaven is fixed His dwelling, His rule is over all; Angels, in might excelling, Bright hosts, before Him fall. Praise Him who ever reigneth, All ye who hear His Word. Nor our poor hymns disdaineth,-- My soul, O praise the Lord! Tune Title: [My soul, now bless thy maker!]
