Text: | Psalm 136 |
Tune: | CROFT'S 136TH |
Composer: | William Croft (1678-1727) |
1 Praise God, for he is kind:
his mercy lasts for aye.
Give thanks with heart and mind
to God of gods alway:
[Refrain:]
For certainly
his mercies dure
most firm and sure
eternally.
2 The Lord of lords praise ye,
whose mercies still endure.
Great wonders only he
Doth work by his great power: [Refrain]
3 Give praise to his great name,
who, by his wisdom high,
the heaven above did frame,
and built the lofty sky: [Refrain]
4 Who hath remembered us
when in our low estate;
and hath delivered us
from foes who did us hate: [Refrain]
5 Who to all flesh gives food;
for his grace faileth never.
Give thanks to God most good,
the God of heaven, for ever: [Refrain]
