5 And even from age to age shall they Reverence thy name, and [fear thy] might▪ As long as Sun doth shine by day, Or [as the] Moon doth shine by night.
6 He shall come down like fruitful rain Upon the [grounds of] late mown grass; And as for watering the dry earth, Refreshing showers [from heaven] do pass.
6 He shall come down like fruitful rain Upon the [grounds of] late mown grass; And as for watering the dry earth, Refreshing showers [from heav'n] do pass.
7 Just men shall flourish in his days, And [all shall] have abundant peace; And this continued shall be Until the Moon [to shine] doth cease.
8 His great and blest dominion shall [Widely] from Sea to Sea extend; And from the River it shall reach To the earth's [remote] utmost end.
