Psalm Text

Give thanks to God, for good is he:

for mercy hath he ever.

Thanks to the God of gods give ye:

for his grace faileth never.

Thanks give the Lord of lords unto:

for mercy hath he ever.

Who only wonders great can do:

for his grace faileth never.

Who by his wisdom made heav'ns high:

for mercy hath he ever.

Who stretch'd the earth above the sea:

for his grace faileth never.

To him that made the great lights shine:

for mercy hath he ever.

The sun to rule till day decline:

for his grace faileth never.

The moon and stars to rule by night:

for mercy hath he ever.

Who Egypt's first-born kill'd outright:

for his grace faileth never.

And Isr'el brought from Egypt land:

for mercy hath he ever.

With stretch'd-out arm, and with strong hand:

for his grace faileth never.

By whom the Red sea parted was:

for mercy hath he ever.

And through its midst made Isr'el pass:

for his grace faileth never.

But Phar'oh and his host did drown:

for mercy hath he ever.

Who through the desert led his own:

for his grace faileth never.

To him great kings who overthrew:

for he hath mercy ever.

Yea, famous kings in battle slew:

for his grace faileth never.

Ev'n Sihon king of Amorites:

for he hath mercy ever.

And Og the king of Bashanites:

for his grace faileth never.

Their land in heritage to have:

(for mercy hath he ever.)

His servant Isr'el right he gave:

for his grace faileth never.

In our low state who on us thought:

for he hath mercy ever.

And from our foes our freedom wrought:

for his grace faileth never.

Who doth all flesh with food relieve:

for he hath mercy ever.

Thanks to the God of heaven give:

for his grace faileth never.
