English poem
Psalm CVIII. Common Metre. A general song of praise
by Anonymous
O GOD my grateful soul aspires To magnify thy name; My tongue with cheerful songs of praise Shall celebrate thy fame.
Awake, my heart, and thou, my voice, Thy willing tribute pay; And let a hymn of sacred joy Salute the opening day.
To all the listening world, around, Thy goodness I will sing; Whilst every grateful tongue shall join To praise th' eternal king.
Because thy mercy's boundless height The highest heav'n transcends; And far beyond the spreading earth Thy faithfulness extends.
Be thou exalted, O my God, Above the starry frame; And let the world, with one consent, Confess thy glorious name.
