2. Thou hast bestowed upon himall that his heart would have;And thou from him didst not withholdwhate'er his lips did crave.
3. For thou with blessings him prevent'stof goodness manifold;And thou hast set upon his heada crown of purest gold.
4. When he desired life of thee,thou life to him didst give;Ev'n such a length of days,that he for evermore should live.
5. In that salvation wrought by theehis glory is made great;Honour and comely majestythou hast upon him set.
