1 God in the great assembly stands
Of Kings and lordly States,
Among the gods on both his hands
He judges and debates.
2 How long will ye pervert the right
With judgment false and wrong
Favouring the wicked by your might,
Who thence grow bold and strong?
3 Regard the weak and fatherless
Dispatch the poor mans cause,
And raise the man in deep distress
By just and equal Lawes.

Let us, with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for He is kind.
Refrain
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Let us blaze His Name abroad,
For of gods He is the God.
Refrain
He with all commanding might
Filled the new made world with light.
Refrain
He hath, with a piteous eye,
Looked upon our misery.
Refrain
He the golden tressèd sun
Caused all day his course to run.
Refrain
Th’horned moon to shine by night;
’Mid her spangled sisters bright.
Refrain
All things living He doth feed,
His full hand supplies their need.
Refrain
Let us, with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for He is kind.
Refrain
