1. Give praise and thanks unto the Lord,for bountiful is he;His tender mercy doth endureunto eternity.
2. God's mighty works who can express?or shew forth all his praise?
3. Blessed are they that judgment keep,and justly do always.
4. Remember me, Lord, with that lovewhich thou to thine dost bear;With thy salvation, O my God,to visit me draw near:
5. That I thy chosen's good may see,and in their joy rejoice;And may with thine inheritancetriumph with cheerful voice.
6. We with our fathers sinned have,and of iniquityToo long we have the workers been;we have done wickedly.
7. The wonders great, which thou, O Lord,didst work in Egypt land,Our fathers, though they saw, yet themthey did not understand:And they thy mercies' multitudekept not in memory;But at the sea, ev'n the Red sea,provok'd him grievously.
8. Nevertheless he saved them,ev'n for his own name's sake;That so he might to be well knownhis mighty power make.
9. When he the Red sea did rebuke,then dried up it was:Through depths, as through the wilderness,he safely made them pass.
10. From hands of those that hated themhe did his people save;And from the en'my's cruel handto them redemption gave.
11. The waters overwhelm'd their foes;not one was left alive.
12. Then they believ'd his word,and praise to him in songs did give.
