Great is the Lord; his works of might

Demand our noblest songs:

Let his assembled saints unite

Their harmony of tongues.

Great is the mercy of the Lord;

He gives his children food;

And, ever mindful of his word,

He makes his promise good.

His Son, the great Redeemer, came

To seal his cov'nant sure;

Holy and reverend is his name,

His ways are just and pure.

They that would grow divinely wise

Must with his fear begin;

Our fairest proof of knowledge lies

In hating every sin.
