Thine eyes shall see the King in His Bounty
The Lord is our King, He will save us
(Proper Left): Many daughters have done virtuously,
but thou excellest them all.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praiseth her.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and
in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea,
she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
(Proper Right): That strain again, it charmed my soul
He came all my on ... steed south
Thy ... upon a bank of ...

...and from this place of scared lays
The sphers began to move
And sung the Great Creators praise
To at the blessed above
Say her the last and dreydful bout

I call her queen the woman whom I love.
Since beauty, worth and dignity above
Throned queens on earth crown her right royal
So brilliant and gracious, her charms so rare
By all I am have or hope to declare
I flatter queens to call her queenly fair
