Psalm 136 (Version 3)

L.M. (8.8.8.8) Psalm 136 Isaac Watts

Psalm Text

Give to our God immortal praise;

Mercy and truth are all his ways:

'Wonders of grace to God belong,

'Repeat his mercies in your song.'

Give to the Lord of lords renown,

The King of kings with glory crown:

'His mercies ever shall endure,

'When' lords and kings are known 'no more.'

He built the earth, he spread the sky,

And fix'd the starry lights on high;

'Wonders of grace to God belong,

'Repeat his mercies in your song.'

He fills the sun with morning light,

He bids the moon direct the night:

'His mercies ever shall endure,

'When' suns and moons shall shine 'no more.'

The Jews he freed from Pharaoh's hand,

And brought them to the promis'd land;

'Wonders of grace to God belong,

'Repeat his mercies in your song.'

He saw the Gentiles dead in sin,

And felt his pity work within:

'His mercies ever shall endure,

'When' death and sin shall reign 'no more.'

He sent his Son with power to save

From guilt, and darkness, and the grave:

'Wonders of grace to God belong,

'Repeat his mercies in your song.'

Thro' this vain world he guides our feet,

And leads us to his heavenly seat:

'His mercies ever shall endure,

'When' this vain world shall be 'no more.'
