Lyics

TO God, the mighty Lord,

Your joyful thanks repeat;

To him due praise afford,

As good as he is great:

For God doth prove our constant friend,

His boundless love shall never end.



To Him whose wondrous power

All other gods obey,

Whom earthly kings adore,

This grateful homage pay.



By his almighty hand

Amazing works are wrought;

The heav'ns at his command

Were to perfection brought.



He spreads the ocean round

About the spacious land;

And made the rising ground

Above the waters stand.



Through heav'n he does display

His num'rous hosts of light;

The sun to rule by day,

The moon and stars by night.



He does the food supply

On which all creatures live;

To God who reigns on high,

Eternal praises give;

For God will prove our constant friend,

His boundless love shall never end.
