← The Psalms of David Imitated in the Language of the New Testament and Applied to the Christian State and Worship

1 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.'

2 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.'

3 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.'

4 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.'

5 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.'

6 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.'

7 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.'

8 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.'
