O Render Thanks to God Above

O render thanks to God above, The fountain of eternal love, Whose mercy firm through ages past Hath stood, and shall forever last. 2. Who can His mighty deeds express, Not only vast, but numberless? What mortal eloquence can raise His tribute of immortal praise? 3. Extend to me that favor, Lord, Thou to Thy chosen dost afford; When Thou return’st to set them free, Let Thy salvation visit me. 4.

Servants of God, in joyful lays, Sing ye the Lord Jehovah’s praise; His glorious name let all adore, From age to age, forevermore. 2. Blest be that name, supremely blest, From the sun’s rising to its rest; Above the heav’ns His pow’r is known, Through all the earth His goodness shown. 3. Who is like God? so great, so high, He bows Himself to view the sky; And yet, with condescending grace, Looks down upon the human race. 4. He hears the uncomplaining moan Of those who sit and weep alone; He lifts the mourner from the dust; In Him the poor may safely trust. 5. O then, aloud, in joyful lays, Sing to the Lord Jehovah’s praise; His saving name let all adore, From age to age, forevermore. Used With Tune: TRURO
