Give thanks unto God, our Creator and Lord,
Who spake and the heavens arose at his word,
For he is our great and unchangeable friend,
Whose mercy can know neither measure nor end.
Give thanks unto God, the omnipotent King,
Whose glory and greatness the seraphim sing,
Who guideth the lightnings, who stilleth the sea,
For his mercy hath been, and for ever shall be.
Give thanks unto God, our protector and guide,
By whose bounty the wants of the world are supplied,
Who saveth the people that trust in his name,
For his mercy remaineth for ever the same.
Give thanks unto God who sent us his Son,
Our sorrows to bear, for our sins to atone;
His promise, through Jesus, our glory secures,
And his mercy unchanging, for ever endures.
