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.
