O God, most holy are Thy ways,
And who like Thee
deserves my praise?
Thou only doest wondrous things,
The whole wide world
Thy glory sings;
Thine outstretched arm
Thy people saved,
Though sore distressed
and long enslaved.
O God, from Thee the waters fled,
The depths were moved
with mighty dread,
The swelling clouds
their torrents poured,
And o’er the earth
the tempest roared;
’Mid lightning’s flash
and thunder’s sound
Great trembling shook
the solid ground.
Thy way was in the sea, O God,
Through mighty waters,
deep and broad;
None understood but God alone,
To man Thy footsteps
were unknown;
But safe Thy people
Thou didst keep,
Almighty Shepherd of Thy sheep.
