Psalm 45A: Psalm 45:1-5

Louisville, S.M. [E]

1. 1 My heart doth overflow;
        A noble theme I sing.
My tongue's a skilful writer's pen
        To speak about the King,
To speak about the King.

2. 2 More fair than sons of men
        Thy lips with grace o'er flow,
Because His blessing evermore
        Did God on Thee bestow,
Did God on Thee bestow.

3. 3 Thy sword gird on Thy thigh,
        O Thou supreme in might,
And gird Thyself with majesty
        And with Thy splendor bright,
And with Thy splendor bright.

4. 4 To victory ride forth
        For meekness, truth, and right;
And may Thy right hand teach to Thee
        The deeds of dreadful might,
The deeds of dreadful might.

5. 5 Thine arrows sharpened are,
        Men under Thee to bring,
To pierce the heart of enemies
        Who fight against the King,
Who fight against the King.
