Praise, O praise our God and king
"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever". Psalm. 136:1
Praise, O praise our God and king;
Hymns of adoration sing
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Praise Him that He made the sun
Day by day His course to run; -
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure;
And the silver moon, by night
Shining with her gentle light;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure;
Praise Him that He gave the rain
To mature the swelling grain;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure; -
And hath bid the fruitful field
Crops of precious increase yield;
For His mercies still endure.
Ever faithful, ever sure:
Praise Him for our harvest-store:
He hath filled the garner floor; -
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:
And for richer food than this,
Pledge of everlasting bliss;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure; -
Glory to our bounteous king!
Glory let creation sing,,
Glory to the father, son,
And blest Spirit, Three in one!
