English poem
Psalm CXXXVI. Hallelujah Metre
by Anonymous
To God, the mighty Lord, Your joyful thanks repeat; To him due praise afford As good as he is great. For God does prove, Our constant friend; His boundless love Shall never end.
To him, whose wondrous power, All other Gods obey; Whom earthly kings adore, This grateful homage pay. For God will prove Our constant friend; His boundless love Shall never end.
By his Almighty hand, Stupendous works are wrought; The heavens by his command Were to perfection brought. This God will prove Our constant friend; His boundless love Shall never end.
Thro' heaven he doth display The radiant orbs of light; The sun to rule by day The moon and stars by night, This God will prove, Our constant friend; His boundless love, Shall never end.
He spread the ocean round, About the spacious land; And made the solid ground, Above the waters stand. This God will prove, Our constant friend; His boundless love, Shall never end.
He doth the food supply, On which all creatures live; To God, who reigns on high, Eternal praises give. This God will prove, Our constant friend; His boundless love, Shall never end.
