My Song Forever Shall Record

My song for­ev­er shall re­cord

The ten­der mer­cies of the Lord;

Thy faith­ful­ness will I pro­claim

And ev­ery age shall know Thy name.

I sing of mer­cies that en­dure

Forever build­ed firm and sure

Of faith­ful­ness that nev­er dies

Established change­less in the skies.

Behold God’s truth and grace dis­played

For He has faith­ful co­ve­nant made

And He has sworn that Da­vid’s Son

Shall ev­er sit up­on his throne.

For Him My mer­cy shall en­dure

My co­ve­nant made with Him is sure;

His throne and race I will main­tain

Forever

while the heav’ns re­main.

The heav­ens shall join in glad ac­cord

To praise Thy won­drous works

O Lord;

Thy faith­ful­ness shall praise comm­and

Where ho­ly ones as­sem­bled stand.

Who in the heav­en­ly dwell­ings fair

Can with the Lord Him­self com­pare?

Or who among the migh­ty shares

The like­ness that Je­ho­vah bears?

With fear and rev­er­ence at His feet

God’s ho­ly ones in coun­cil meet;

Yea

more than all about His throne

Must He be feared

and He alone.

O Thou Je­ho­vah

God of hosts

What migh­ty one Thy like­ness boasts?

In all Thy works and vast de­signs

Thy faith­ful­ness for­ev­er shines.

The swell­ing sea ob­eys Thy will

Its ang­ry waves Thy voice can still;

Thy migh­ty ene­mies are slain

Thy foes re­sist Thy pow­er in vain.

The heav­ens and earth

by right di­vine

The world and all there­in

are Thine;

The whole cre­ation’s won­drous frame

Proclaims its mak­er’s glo­ri­ous name.

Blest be the Lord for­ev­er­more

Whose pro­mise stands from days of yore

His Word is fait­hful now as then;

Blest be His name. Amen

Amen.
