136E. Give Thanks to God, for Good Is He

1 Give thanks to God, for good is he:
his love abides forever.
To him all praise and glory be:
his mercy lasts forever.
His wondrous works with praise record:
his love abides forever.
The only God, the sovereign Lord:
his mercy lasts forever.

2 His wisdom made the heavens to be:
his love abides forever.
He spread the earth upon the sea:
his mercy lasts forever.
Praise him whose sun awakes the day:
his love abides forever.
The moon and stars his might display:
his mercy lasts forever.

3 He helped us in our deepest woes:
his love abides forever.
He ransomed us from all our foes:
his mercy lasts forever.
Each creature's need he will supply:
his love abides forever.
Give thanks to God, enthroned on high:
his mercy lasts forever.
