English text
O all true faithful hearts, with one accord
United in one head, sing to the Lord,
For he our David from the snares of death
Hath freed; prolong his days, enlarge his breath.
Rejoice in him, give thanks, his great name bless
For a remembrance of his holiness.
His life is worth ten thousand, therefore give
Each soul ten thousand thanks that he doth live
To lead his people forth to pastures green,
To praise his God whose love to us is seen. Rejoice...
Now for the righteous is sprung up a light,
And gladness with each true-hearted wight.
Joy we in him with thanks, that he may bring
More joy unto ourselves, health to our King. Rejoice...
