2.My song shall be alway of the loving kindness of the Lord; with my mouth will I ever be shewing thy truth from one generation to another. The Heav'ns shall praise thy wond'rous works, and thy truth in the congregation of the saints. (Soprano, Chorus)
3.For who is he among the clouds that shall be compared unto the Lord? And what he is among the Gods that shall be like unto the Lord? (Tenor)
