| 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 fixed 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 promised 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 power 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.
