1 Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord; His mercies still endure! And be the King of kings ador'd; His truth is ever sure.
2 What wonders hath his wisdom done! How mighty is his hand! Heaven, earth, and sea, he fram'd alone: How wide is his command!
3 The sun supplies the day with light; How bright his counsels shine! The moon and stars adorn the night; His works are all divine!
4 [He struck the sons of Egypt dead; How dreadful is his rod! And thence with joy his people led: How gracious is our God!
5 He cleft the swelling sea in two; His arm is great in might, And gave the tribes a passage thro'; His power and grace unite.
6 But Pharaoh's army there he drown'd; How glorious are his ways! And brought his saints thro' desert ground; Eternal be his praise.
7 Great monarchs fell beneath his hand, Victorious is his sword; While Israel took the promis'd land; And faithful is his word.]
8 He saw the nations dead in sin; He felt his pity move: How sad the state the world was in! How boundless was his love!
9 He sent to save us from our woe; His goodness never fails; From death, and hell, and every foe; And still his grace prevails.
10 Give thanks to God the heavenly King; His mercies still endure! Let the whole earth his praises sing; His truth is ever sure.
