1 Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord;
His mercies still endure! 
And be the King of kings ador’d;
His truth is ever sure.

2 What wonders hath his wisdom done! 
How mighty is his hand! 
Heaven, earth, and sea, he fram’d alone: 
How wide is his command!

3 The sun supplies the day with light;
How bright his counsels shine! 
The moon and stars adorn the night;
His works are all divine!

4 [He struck the sons of Egypt dead;
How dreadful is his rod! 
And thence with joy his people led: 
How gracious is our God!

5 He cleft the swelling sea in two;
His arm is great in might,
And gave the tribes a passage thro’;
His power and grace unite.

6 But Pharaoh’s army there he drown’d;
How glorious are his ways! 
And brought his saints thro’ desert ground;
Eternal be his praise.

7 Great monarchs fell beneath his hand,
Victorious is his sword;
While Israel took the promis’d land;
And faithful is his word.]

8 He saw the nations dead in sin;
He felt his pity move: 
How sad the state the world was in! 
How boundless was his love!

9 He sent to save us from our woe;
His goodness never fails;
From death, and hell, and every foe;
And still his grace prevails.

10 Give thanks to God the heavenly King;
His mercies still endure! 
Let the whole earth his praises sing;
His truth is ever sure.

Psalm 136:2.  As the 148th Psalm.  God’s wonders of creation, providence, redemption of Israel, and salvation of his people.

1 Give thanks to God most high,
The universal Lord;
The sovereign King of kings;
And be his grace ador’d. 
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his Name
Have endless praise.

2 How mighty is his hand! 
What wonders hath he done! 
He form’d the earth and seas,
And spread the heavens alone. 
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.

3 His wisdom fram’d the sun
To crown the day with light;
The moon and twinkling stars
To cheer the darksome night. 
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his Name
Have endless praise.

4 [He smote the first-born Sons,
The flower of Egypt, dead: 
And thence his chosen tribes
With joy and glory led. 
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.

5 His power and lifted rod
Cleft the Red-sea in two: 
And for his people made
A wondrous passage thro’. 
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his Name
Have endless praise.

6 But cruel Pharaoh there
With all his host he drown’d;
And brought his Israel safe
Thro’ a long desert ground. 
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.
