418. Great God, We Sing That Mighty Hand

1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand;
The opening year Your mercy shows,
That mercy crowns it 'til its close.

2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still are we guarded by our God,
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led.

3 In scenes exalted or depressed,
You are our joy, and You our rest;
Your goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.

4 When death shall interrupt our songs
And seal in silence mortal tongues,
In fairer realms, O God, shall we
Your praises sing eternally.

Amen.
