Great God, we sing that mighty hand
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed". Lamentations 3:22
Great God, we sing that mighty hand,
By which supported still we stand:
The opening year Thy mercy shows,
And mercy crowns it's lingering close.
By day, by night, at home, abroad
Still are we guarded by our God.
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led,
With grateful hearts the past we own:
The future all to us unknown,
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before Thy feet
In scenes exalted or depressed
Thou art our joy, and Thou our rest,
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise
Adored through all our changing days.
When death shall interrupt these songs,
And seal in silence mortal tongues,
Our Helper God, in whom we trust,
Shall keep our souls and guard our dust
