Hymn of Praise. II.

O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is gracious, and his mercy endureth for ever.

Ps. cxxxvi. 1.

Martin Rinckart. 1585-1649.

Frances E. Cox. Tr. 1864

Lift heart, and hands, and voice

To God’s bright throne of glory;

In grateful songs rejoice,

And tell aloud the story,

How from our natal day

His mercies numberless

Have blest us on our way,

And still unnumbered bless.

The ever bounteous Lord,

Throughout our life’s duration,

Wilt joy of heart afford,

Through hope of his salvation:

In trial’s grievous hour

His Arm will hold us fast,

And from temptation’s power

Will set us free at last.

To Father and to Son

Be praise and glory given,

And to that Holy One

Who reigns with them in heaven:

To God, the One in Three,

The God Who is, and was,

And evermore shall be:—

The One Eternal Cause!
