To God the Great, the Ever Blest

To God

the great

the ev­er blest

Let songs of hon­or be ad­dressed;

His mer­cy firm for­ev­er stands

Give Him the thanks His love de­mands.

Who knows the won­ders of Thy ways?

Who shall ful­fill Thy bound­less praise?

Blest are the souls that fear Thee still

And pay their du­ty to Thy will.

Remember what Thy mer­cy did

For Ja­cob’s race

Thy chos­en seed;

And with the same sal­va­tion bless

The mean­est sup­pli­ant of Thy grace.

O may I see Thy tribes re­joice

And aid their tri­umphs with my voice!

This is my glo­ry

Lord

to be

Joined to Thy saints and near to Thee.
