^2Give thanks with heart and mind
To God of gods alway:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^3The Lord of lords praise ye,
Whose mercies still endure.
^4Great wonders only he
Doth work by his great pow'r
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^5Which God omnipotent,
By might and wisdom high,
The heav'n and firmament
Did frame, as we may see:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^6To him who did outstretch
This earth so great and wide,
Above the waters' reach
Making it to abide:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^7Great lights he made to be;
For his grace lasteth aye:
^8Such as the sun we see,
To rule the lightsome day:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^9Also the moon so clear,
Which shineth in our sight;
The stars that do appear,
To guide the darksome night:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^10To him that Egypt smote,
Who did his message scorn;
And in his anger hot
Did kill all their first-born:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^11Thence Isr'el out he brought;
For his grace lasteth ever.
^12With a strong hand he wrought,
And stretch'd-out arm deliver:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^13The sea he cut in two;
For his grace lasteth still.
^14And through its midst to go
Made his own Israel:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^15But overwhelm'd and lost
Was proud king Pharaoh,
With all his mighty host,
And chariots there also:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^16To him who pow'rfully
His chosen people led,
Ev'n through the desert dry,
And in that place them fed:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^17To him great kings who smote;
For his grace hath no bound.
^18Who slew, and spared not
Kings famous and renown'd:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^19Sihon the Am'rites' king;
For his grace lasteth ever:
^20Og also, who did reign
The land of Bashan over:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^21Their land by lot he gave;
For his grace faileth never,
^22That Isr'el might it have
In heritage for ever:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^23Who hath remembered
Us in our low estate;
^24And us delivered
From foes which did us hate:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
^25Who to all flesh gives food;
For his grace faileth never.
^26Give thanks to God most good,
The God of heav'n, for ever:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
