Greatness Praising
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I extol you, my God and King,
I will bless your name forever;
For all the blessings that You bring,
Steadfast love that will not sever.
Every day I will praise your name,
Because of the blessings from You;
And forever will I proclaim,
Knowing You are faithful and true.
Great are You to be greatly praised,
Your greatness is unsearchable;
All creation, I am amazed,
Marvelous and so beautiful.
All generations commend Your deeds,
And shall declare Your mighty acts;
Because You have met our needs,
And knowing how each one impacts.
Your majesty of such splendor,
Wondrous works that I meditate;
New realms that have opened the door,
Letting my mind facilitate.
They shall be speaking of the might,
The greatness of Your works declare;
Enables me to see the light,
Unto another, I will share.
They shall abundantly utter,
Of the memory from Your fame;
Because in You I can buffer,
Upon confessing any shame.
Your righteousness I sing aloud,
As I bless forever Your name;
Because of blessings, You endowed,
To the whole world, I will proclaim.
