2 Most precious are his Promises, They firm and sure be; Thou all our wants wilt, Lord, supply, And that continually.
3 Though we are poor in earthly things, And little do possess; Yet richer are than wicked Kings, And never shall have less.
4 He that hath God, possesseth all. And what would he have more? Shall not that Man contented be? Can any think he's poor?
5 O let us then lift up our voice, And sing melodiously; And in the Lord always rejoice Until we come to die.
5 O let us then lift up our voice, And sing melodiously; And in the Lord always rejoyce Until we come to die.
