The Psalms of David ‎#P136c

P136c. Give to our GOD immortal Praise!

1 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.

2 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.

3 He built the Earth, he spread the Sky,
And fix'd the starry Lights on high:
Wonders of Grace to God belong,
Repeat his Mercies in your Song.

4 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.

5 The Jews he freed from Pharaoh's Hand,
And brought them to the promis'd Land:
Wonders of Grace to God belong,
Repeat his Mercies in your Song.

6 He saw the Gentiles dead in Sin,
And felt his Pity work within:
His Mercies ever shall endure,
When Death and Sin shall reign no more.

7 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.

8 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.
