LyicsSongs of immortal praise belong
To my Almighty God;
He has my heart, and He my tongue,
To spread his name abroad.
How great the works his hand has wrought;
How glorious in our sight;
And men in every age have sought
His wonders with delight.
How most exact in nature's frame,
How wise the Eternal Mind;
His counsels never change the scheme
That his first thoughts designed.
When he redeemed his chosen sons,
He fixed his covenant sure;
The orders that his lips pronounce
To endless years endure.
