Thy gracious Lord shall soon for thee
His whole omnipotence employ,
Delight in thy prosperity,
And condescend to sing for joy:
Thy God well pleas’d and satisfied
Shall view his image in thy breast,
Shall glory o’er his spotless bride,
And in his love forever rest.
Thy gracious Lord shall soon for thee
