Give Thanks to God the Sovereign Lord

Give thanks to God the sov­er­eign Lord

His mer­cies still en­dure;

And be the King of kings ad­ored:

His truth is ev­er sure.

What won­ders hath His wis­dom done!

How migh­ty is His hand!

Heav’n

earth

and sea

He framed alone:

How wide is His com­mand!

The sun sup­plies the day with light;

How bright His coun­sels shine!

The moon and stars ad­orn the night;

His works are all di­vine.

He struck the sons of Egypt dead;

How dread­ful is His rod!

And thence with joy His peo­ple led;

How gra­cious is our God!

He cleft the swell­ing sea in two;

His arm is great in might;

And gave the tribes a pas­sage through;

His power and grace unite.

But Pha­raoh’s ar­my there He drowned;

How glo­ri­ous are His ways!

And brought His saints thro’ de­sert ground;

Eternal be His praise!

Great mon­archs fell be­neath His hand;

Victorious is His sword.

While Is­ra­el took the pro­mised land:

And faith­ful is His word.

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!

He sent to save us from our woe;

His good­ness nev­er fails;

From death

and hell

and ev­ery foe;

And still His grace pre­vails.

Give thanks to God the heav­en­ly King;

His mer­cies still en­dure.

Let the whole earth His prais­es sing;

His truth is ev­er sure.
