His mercy lasts for aye.
2 Give thanks with heart and mind
To God of gods alway:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
3 The Lord of lords praise ye,
Whose mercies still endure.
4 Great wonders only he
Doth work by his great pow'r
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
5 Which God omnipotent,
By might and wisdom high,
The heav'n and firmament
Did frame, as we may see:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
6 To him who did outstretch
This earth so great and wide,
Above the waters' reach
Making it to abide:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
7 Great lights he made to be;
For his grace lasteth aye:
8 Such as the sun we see,
To rule the lightsome day:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
9 Also the moon so clear,
Which shineth in our sight;
The stars that do appear,
To guide the darksome night:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
10 To him that Egypt smote,
Who did his message scorn;
And in his anger hot
Did kill all their first-born:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
11 Thence Isr'el out he brought;
For his grace lasteth ever.
12 With a strong hand he wrought,
And stretched-out arm deliver:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
13 The sea he cut in two;
For his grace lasteth still.
14 And through its midst to go
Made his own Israel:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
15 But overwhelmed and lost
Was proud king Phäraoh,
With all his mighty host,
And chariots there also:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure

His chosen people led,
Ev'n through the desert dry,
And in that place them fed:

For his grace hath no bound.
18 Who slew, and sparèd not
Kings famous and renowned:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
19 Sihon the Am'rites' king;
For his grace lasteth ever:
20 Og also, who did reign
The land of Bashan over:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
21 Their land by lot he gave;
For his grace faileth never,
22 That Isr'el might it have
In heritage for ever:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
23 Who hath rememberèd
Us in our low estate;
24 And us deliverèd
From foes which did us hate:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.
25 Who to all flesh gives food;
For his grace faileth never.
26 Give thanks to God most good,
The God of heav'n, for ever:
For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally. Scripture: Psalm 136 Languages: English
