Psalm 136 Version 2 | |||
GIVE thanks to God Most High, The universal Lord; The sovereign King of kings, And be His love adored; His power and grace Are still the same; So let His name Have endless praise. |
|||
2 | How mighty is His hand! What wonders He has done! He formed the earth and seas, And spread the skies alone. Thy mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides Thy Word. |
||
3 | His wisdom framed the sun To bless the day with light; The moon and numerous stars To cheer the hours of night. His power and grace Are still the same; So let His name Have endless praise. |
||
4 | He saw the nations lie All perishing in sin, And pitied the lost state This ruined world was in. Thy mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides Thy Word. |
||
5 | He sent His only Son To save us from our woe, From Satan, sin and death, And every hurtful foe. His power and grace Are still the same; So let His name Have endless praise. |
||
6 | Give thanks aloud to God, The Lord our heavenly King; Let all upon the earth His works and glories sing. Thy mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides Thy Word. |
