To God, the great, the ev­er blest,
Let songs of hon­or be ad­dressed;
His mer­cy firm for­ev­er stands
Give Him the thanks His love de­mands.

Who knows the won­ders of Thy ways?
Who shall ful­fill Thy bound­less praise?
Blest are the souls that fear Thee still,
And pay their du­ty to Thy will.

Remember what Thy mer­cy did
For Ja­cob’s race, Thy chos­en seed;
And with the same sal­va­tion bless
The mean­est sup­pli­ant of Thy grace.

O may I see Thy tribes re­joice,
And aid their tri­umphs with my voice!
This is my glo­ry, Lord, to be
Joined to Thy saints and near to Thee.
