1
My song forever shall record The tender mercies of the Lord; Thy faithfulness will I proclaim, And every age shall know Thy Name.
2
I sing of mercies that endure, Forever builded firm and sure, Of faithfulness that never dies, Established changeless in the skies.
3
Behold God's truth and grace displayed, For He has faithful covenant made, And He has sworn that David's son Shall ever sit upon his throne.
4
The heavens shall join in glad accord To praise Thy wondrous works, O Lord; Thy faithfulness shall praise command Where holy ones assembled stand.
5
Who in the heavenly dwellings fair Can with the Lord Himself compare? Or who among the mighty shares The likeness that Jehovah bears.
6
With fear and reverence at His feet God's holy ones in council meet; Yea, more than all about His throne Must He be feared, and He alone.
7
O Thou Jehovah, God of Hosts, What mighty one Thy likeness boasts? In all Thy works and vast designs Thy faithfulness forever shines.
8
The swelling sea obeys Thy will, Its angry waves Thy voice can still; Thy mighty enemies are slain, Thy foes resist Thy power in vain.
9
The heavens and earth, by right divine, The world and all therein are Thine; The whole creation's wondrous frame Proclaims its Maker's glorious Name.
