Thank and praise Jehovah’s name;
For his mercies, firm and sure,
From eternity the same,
To eternity endure.
Let the ransomed thus rejoice,
Gathered out of every land;
As the people of his choice,
Plucked from the destroyer's hand.
In the wilderness astray,
Hither, thither, while they roam,
Hungry, fainting by the way,
Far from refuge, shelter, home;—
Then unto the Lord they cry;
He inclines a gracious ear,
Sends deliverance from on high,
Rescues them from all their fear.
To a pleasant land he brings,
Where the vine and olive grow;
Where, from flowery hills, the springs
Through luxuriant valleys flow.
Oh that men would praise the Lord,
For his goodness to their race;
For the wonders of his word,
And the riches of his grace!
