My Purchased Files256. God's Wonders of Creation, Providence, Redemption of Israel, and Salvation of his People
1 Give thanks to God, the sovereign Lord;
His mercies still endure;
And be the King of kings ador'd,
His truth is ever sure.
2 What wonders hath his wisdom done!
How mighty is his hand!
Heaven, earth and sea he fram'd alone;
How wide is his command!
3 The sun supplies the day with light:
How bright his counsels shine!
The moon and stars adorn the night:
His works are all divine!
4 [He struck the sons of Egypt dead;
How dreadful is his rod!
And thence with joy his people led:
How gracious is our God!
5 He cleft the swelling sea in two;
His arm is great in might:
And gave the tribes a passage through;
His power and grace unite.
6 But Pharaoh's army there he drown'd:
How glorious are his ways!
And brought his saints through desert ground:
Eternal be his praise.
7 Great monarchs fell beneath his hand;
Victorious is his sword;
While Israel took the promis'd land:
8 He saw the nations dead in sin;
He felt his pity move:
How sad the state the world was in!
How boundless was his love!
9 He sent to save us from our woe:
His goodness never fails;
From death and hell, and every foe;
And still his grace prevails.
10 Give thanks to God the heavenly King;
His mercies still endure;
Let the whole earth his praises sing;
His truth is ever sure.
