Lyrics

To our al­migh­ty mak­er, God,
New hon­ors be ad­dressed;
His great sal­va­tion shines abroad,
And makes the na­tions blest.

He spoke the word to Ab­ra­ham first,
His truth ful­fills the grace;
The Gen­tiles make His name their trust,
And learn His right­eous­ness.

Let the whole earth His love pro­claim,
With all her dif­fer­ent tongues,
And spread the hon­ors of His name
In me­lo­dy and songs.
