21 Be Thou Exalted lyrics

The King shall joy in thy strength

Thy salvation, how greatly he shall rejoice

You've given him his heart's desire

Not withheld his request

Preventest him, with the blessings of goodness

Thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head (Gold on his head)

He asked life of thee, you gave it him (Aah, aah)

Even length of day (Aah)

For ever and ever (For ever and ever)

His glory is great in thy salvation (Ahh)

Honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him (Majesty)

For thou has made him most blessed for ever

Thou has made him exceeding glad with thy countenance

The king trusteth in the Lord

And through mercy of the Most High

He shall not be moved

Thine hand shall find out thine enemies

Thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee (Right hand)

Thou shall make them as a fiery oven (Make them)

In the time of thine anger

The Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath (Swallow)

And the fire shall devour me

Their fruit shall thou destroy from the Earth

And their seed from among the children of men

For they intended evil against thee

They imagined a mischievous device

Which they are not able to perform

Therefore thou shalt make them turn their back

When thou shalt make ready thine arrows

Upon the strings against the face of them

Be thou exalted, Lord

In thine own strength

So will we sing

And praise thy power
