Praise Jehovah for His Love

lyricist: From Psalm 136
Composer: William Sherwin, 1872

Praise Je­ho­vah for His love

God of gods

en­throned above;

Praise the migh­ty King of kings

Who alone doth won­drous things;

For His mercy doth en­dure

Ever faith­ful

ev­er sure.

God by wis­dom framed the skies

Made the earth from ocean rise

Gave the sun by day for light

Moon and stars to rule the night;

For His mer­cy doth en­dure

Ever faith­ful

ev­er sure.

He made Egypt’s great­ness vain

Caused their first-born to be slain

Brought forth Is­ra­el from their land

Stretching out His migh­ty hand;

For His mer­cy doth en­dure

Ever faith­ful

ev­er sure.

God the sea asun­der clave

Brought His peo­ple through the wave

Drowned their foes be­neath the deep

Through the des­ert led His sheep;

For His mer­cy doth en­dure

Ever faith­ful

ev­er sure.

Mighty kings of migh­ty name

He de­stroyed and put to shame

Made their land a her­it­age

For His saints from age to age;

For His mer­cy doth en­dure

Ever faith­ful

ev­er sure.

God re­mem­bered all our woe

Rescued us from ev­ery foe

Food to all doth He sup­ply

Praise the Lord en­throned on high;

For His mer­cy doth en­dure

Ever faith­ful

ev­er sure.
