Subsequent verses have been editorially added: it is suggested by the editor that if verses 2 and 3 are sung, the note sung on the second beat of bar 13 should be sustained into the third beat, to avoid the crotchet rest which would otherwise fall between the syllables of a single word.

English text
I'll praise my Maker while I've breath,
And when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my nobler pow'rs:
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life, or thought, or being last,
Or immortality endures.
Happy the man whose hopes rely
On Israel's God; he made the sky,
And earth, and sea, with all their train.
His truth for ever stands secure:
He saves th'oppress'd, he feeds the poor,
And none shall find his promise vain.
The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;
The Lord supports the fainting mind;
He sends the lab'ring conscience peace:
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow, and the fatherless,
And grants the pris'ner sweet release.
I'll praise him while he lends me breath,
And when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my nobler pow'rs:
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life, or thought, or being last,
Or immortality endures.
