1 To God, the mighty Lord,
Your joyful thanks repeat;
To him due thanks afford--
As good as he is great.
Refrain:
For God doth prove our constant friend,
His boundless love shall never end.
2 To him whose wond'rous power,
All other gods obey,
Whom earthly kings adore,
This grateful homage pay. [Refrain]
3 He spread the ocean round
About this spacious land,
And made the rising ground
Above the waters stand. [Refrain]
4 Through heaven he does display
His wond'rous hosts of light;
The sun to rule the day,
The moon and stars by night. [Refrain]
5 He does the food supply
On which all creatures live;
To God who reigns on high,
Eternal praises give. [Refrain]
