He can raise the poor to stand
With the princes of the land;
Wealth upon the needy shower;
Set the meanest high in power.
He the broken spirit cheers;
Turns to joy the mourner’s tears;
Such the wonders of his ways:
Praise his name—for ever praise.
With the princes of the land;
Wealth upon the needy shower;
Set the meanest high in power.
He the broken spirit cheers;
Turns to joy the mourner’s tears;
Such the wonders of his ways:
Praise his name—for ever praise.
