89. My Song Forever Shall Record

1 My song forever shall record
the tender mercies of the LORD;
Thy faithfulness will I proclaim,
and every age shall know Thy name.

2 I sing of mercies that endure,
forever builded firm and sure,
of faithfulness that never dies,
established changeless in the skies.

3 Behold God's truth and grace displayed,
for He has faithful cov'nant made,
and He has sworn that David's son
shall ever sit upon His throne.

4 The heav'ns shall join in glad accord
to praise Thy wondrous works, O LORD;
Thy faithfulness shall praise command
where holy ones assembled stand.

5 The heav'ns and earth, by right divine,
the world and all therein, are Thine;
the whole creation's wondrous frame
proclaim its Maker's glorious Name.

6 In vision to His saints God spake:
"From out the people one I take,
a mighty leader, true and brave,
ordained, exalted, strong to save.

7 Yea, he shall triumph in My Name,
and great shall be his pow'r and fame,
from sea to sea his mighty hand
shall hold dominion o'er the land."

8 "For him My mercy shall endure,
My cov'nant made with him is sure,
his throne and race I will maintain
forever, while the heav'ns remain."

9 On Thy anointed wrath is poured
as if Thy cov'nant were abhorred;
Thou hast profaned his kingly crown,
his matchless strength is broken down.

10 Where are Thy mercies which of old
were in Thy promises foretold?
Remember, Lord, the bitter shame
heaped on Thy own anointed's name.

11 Blest be the LORD for evermore,
whose promise stands from days of yore.
His word is faithful now as then;
blest be His Name. Amen. Amen.
