Achieved is the glorious work the Lord beholds and is well pleas'd. In lofty strains let us rejoice! Our song let be the praise of God!

On thee each living soul awaits from thee, O Lord, all seek their food. Thou openest thy hand and fillest with good.

But when thy face, O Lord, is hid, with sudden terror they are struck. Thou tak'st their breath away they vanish into dust.

Thou sendest forth thy breath again, and life with vigor fresh returns. Revived earth unfolds new strength and new delights.

Achieved is the glorious work. Our song let be the praise of God! Glory to His name forever He sole on high exalted reigns, alleluia.
