1 Give thanks to God most high, The universal Lord; The sovereign King of kings; And be his grace ador'd. His power and grace Are still the same; And let his Name Have endless praise.
2 How mighty is his hand! What wonders hath he done! He form'd the earth and seas, And spread the heavens alone. Thy mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides thy word.
3 His wisdom fram'd the sun To crown the day with light; The moon and twinkling stars To cheer the darksome night. His power and grace Are still the same; And let his Name Have endless praise.
4 [He smote the first-born Sons, The flower of Egypt, dead: And thence his chosen tribes With joy and glory led. Thy mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides thy word.
5 His power and lifted rod Cleft the Red-sea in two: And for his people made A wondrous passage thro'. His power and grace Are still the same; And let his Name Have endless praise.
6 But cruel Pharaoh there With all his host he drown'd; And brought his Israel safe Thro' a long desert ground. Thy mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides thy word.
