My song shall be alway

Purcell, Henry

Symphony

My song shall be alway of the loving-kindness of the Lord:

with my mouth will I ever be shewing forth thy truth from one generation to another.

O Lord, the very heavens shall praise thy wondrous works:

and thy truth in the congregation of the saints.

For who is he among the clouds: that shall be compared unto the Lord?

And what is he among the gods: that shall be like unto the Lord?

God is very greatly to be feared in the council of the saints:

and to be had in reverence of all them that are round about him

Chorus

Hallelujah.

Symphony

O Lord God of hosts, who is like unto thee?:

thy truth, most mighty Lord, is on every side.

Thou rulest the raging of the sea:

thou stillest the waves thereof when they arise.

Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand,

and high is thy right hand.

Righteousness and equity are the habitation of thy seat:

mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Hallelujah.

Chorus

Hallelujah.
