Lyrics
These lyrics are a direct setting of the Psalm text. The published version does not identify which translation of the Bible they come from.All Thy works shall praise Thee, o Lord,
And Thy saints shall bless Thee, o Lord.
They shall speak of the glory of Thy Kingdom,
And talk of thy power.
Thy Kingdom is an everlastig kingdom,
Thy dominion endureth thruout all generations.
