Thee and thy wondrous deeds
Language: English
Thee and thy wondrous deeds, O Lord, With all my soul I sound abroad. My joy and triumph is in thee; Of thy dread name my song shall be. Down shall the wicked backwards fall To deepest hell, and nations all That God forgot. Nor shall the poor Forgotten be for evermore. Lo, in eternal state God sits, And hishigh throne to justice fits; Whose righteous hands the world doth wield. And to all folk just doom dost yield. O sing the God that doth abide On Sion mount, and blazon wide His worthy deeds; for he pursues The guiltless blood with vengeance due. Alleluja.
