Give to our God immortal praise;
mercy and truth are all His ways;
wonders of grace to God belong,
repeat His mercies in your song.
Give to the LORD of lords renown,
the King of kings with glory crown;
His mercies ever shall endure,
when lords and kings are known no more.
He built the earth, He spread the sky,
and fixed the starry lights on high;
wonders of grace to God belong,
repeat His mercies in your song.
He fills the sun with morning light,
He bids the moon direct the night;
His mercies ever shall endure,
when suns and moons shall shine no more.
The Jews He freed from Pharaoh’s hand
and brought them to the promised land;
wonders of grace to God belong,
repeat His mercies in your song.
He saw the Gentiles dead in sin
and felt His pity move within;
His mercies ever shall endure,
when death and sin shall reign no more.
He sent His Son with pow’r to save
from guilt, and darkness, and the grave;
wonders of grace to God belong,
repeat His mercies in your song.
Through this vain world He guides our feet
and leads us to His heav’nly seat;
His mercies ever shall endure,
when this vain world shall be no more.
—Isaac Watts, 1719
