1 GIVE thanks to God, for good is he:
For mercy hath he ever.
2 Thanks to the God of gods give ye:
For his grace faileth never.
3 Thanks give the Lord of lords unto:
For mercy hath he ever:
4 Who only wonders great can do:
For his grace faileth never.
5 The heavens by wisdom fashioned he;
For mercy hath he ever:
6 And stretched the earth above the sea;
For his grace faileth never.
7 To him that made great lights to shine;
For mercy hath he ever:
8 The sun to rule till day decline;
For his grace faileth never:
9 The moon and stars to rule by night;
For mercy hath he ever:
10 Who Egypt's first-born all did smite;
For his grace faileth never:
11 And Israel brought out from their land;
For mercy hath he ever:
12 With outstretched arm, and with strong hand;
For his grace faileth never:
13 By whom the Red Sea parted was;
For mercy hath he ever:
14 Who through its midst made Israel pass;
For his grace faileth never:
15 But Pharaoh and his hosts he drowned;
For mercy hath he ever:
16 Paths for his own in desert found;
For his grace faileth never.
17 To him great kings who overthrew;
For he hath mercy ever:
18 Yea, famous kings in battle slew;
For his grace faileth never:
19 Sihon, king of the Arnorites;
For he hath mercy ever:
20 And Og, king of the Bashanites;
For his grace faileth never.
21 Their land as heritage to have,
(For mercy hath he ever,)
22 His servant Israel right he gave;
For his grace faileth never.
23 In our low state who on us thought;
For he hath mercy ever:
24 And from our foes our freedom wrought;
For his grace faileth never.
25 Who giveth food to all that live;
For he hath mercy ever.
26 Thanks to the God of heaven give;
For his grace faileth never.
