PSALM LXXII.ABRIDGED, AND ADAPTED[22]TO A PARTICULAR TUNE.
Lord, to the King thy judgments give,Give to his Son thy righteousness:So shall thy people safely live,So he thy chosen flock shall bless.Great his dominion, large his swayO’er earth and ocean shall extend:Him shall remotest isles obey,Him the wide sea from end to end.War and the battle then shall cease,Then righteous men in favour stand;Peace shall return, a lasting peace;Plenty again shall store the land.While He, with choicest blessings crown’d,Long on his throne shall sit sublime;Honour’d by all the nations round,Honour’d by Kings of every clime.Blest be our God for these fair days,These happy days that rise again!O may his glorious name and praiseFill all the earth! Amen, amen.
