63. To God, the great, the ever blest

To God the great, the ever blessed,
let songs of honor be addressed;
all mercy, God, comes from your hands!
I give the thanks your love demands.

Who knows the wonders of your ways?
Lord, I would sing your boundless praise!
How blest are all who love you still,
remaining faithful to your will.

O, may I see your saints rejoice,
and aid their triumphs with my voice!
This is my glory, Lord above,
to still be faithful to your love.
