1 The king in thy great strength, O Lord,shall very joyful be:In thy salvation rejoicehow veh'mently shall he!
2 Thou hast bestowed upon himall that his heart would have;And thou from him didst not withholdwhate'er his lips did crave.
3 For thou with blessings him prevent'stof goodness manifold;And thou hast set upon his heada crown of purest gold.
4 When he desired life of thee,thou life to him didst give;Ev'n such a length of days,that he for evermore should live.
