52. To you, almighty God

To you, almighty God,
new honours be addressed;
your great salvation shines abroad,
and makes all nations blessed;
your great salvation shines abroad,
and makes all nations blessed.

You spoke to Abrah'm first;
your truth fulfils your grace
the humble make your name their trust,
and learn your righteousness;
the humble make your name their trust,
and learn your righteousness.

Let earth proclaim your love
in all its different tongues,
and praise your name below, above,
in melody and songs;
and praise your name below, above,
in melody and songs.
