Psalms of Grace ‎#136b

136b. Give thanks to God the Sov'reign LORD

1 Give thanks to God the sov'reign LORD;
His mercies still endure!
And be the King of kings adored;
His truth is ever sure.
What wonders has His wisdom done!
How mighty is His hand!
Heav'n, earth, and sea, He framed alone;
How wide is His command!
The sun supplies the day with light;
How bright His counsels shine!
The moon and stars adorn the night;
His works are all divine.

2 He struck the sons of Egypt dead;
How dreadful is His rod!
And then with joy His people led;
How gracious is our God!
He cleft the swelling sea in two;
His arm is great in might;
And gave the tribes a passage through;
His pow'r and grace unite.
But Pharoah's army there He drowned;
How glor'ous are His ways!
And brought His saints through desert ground;
Eternal be His praise!

3 He saw the nations dead in sin;
He felt His pity move:
How sad the state the world was in!
How boundless was His love!
He sent to save us from our woe;
His goodness never fails;
From death, and hell, and ev'ry foe;
And still His grace prevails.
Give thanks to God the heav'nly King;
His mercies still endure:
Let the whole earth His praises sing;
His truth is ever sure.
