Music: Henry Ley
Sung by: Westminster Abbey Choir


Text:
I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: even before the gods will I sing
praise unto thee.
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name, because of thy loving-kindness and
truth: for thou hast magnified thy name, and thyWord, above all things.
When I called upon thee, thou heardest me: and enduedst my soul with much strength.
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: that great is the glory of the Lord.
For though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: as for the proud, he beholdeth
them afar off.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shalt thou refresh me: thou shalt stretch forth thy hand
upon the furiousness of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
The Lord shall make good his loving-kindness toward me: yea, thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for
ever; despise not then the works of thine own hands.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
