Music: Constance (Sullivan) Arthur S. Sullivan, 1875 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Give thanks to God, for good is He,
His grace abideth ever;
To Him all praise and glory be,
His mercy faileth never.
His wondrous works with praise record,
His grace abideth ever;
The only God, the sovereign Lord,
Whose mercy faileth never.
His wisdom made the heavens be,
His grace abideth ever;
He spread the earth above the sea,
His mercy faileth never.
Praise Him whose sun doth bring the day,
His grace abideth ever;
The moon and stars His might display,
Whose mercy faileth never.
He helped us in our deepest woe,
His grace abideth ever;
He ransomed us from all our foes,
His mercy faileth never.
Each creature’s need He doth supply,
His grace abideth ever;
Give thanks to God, enthroned on high,
Whose mercy faileth never.
