[Praise God, for he is kinde]

Praise God, for he is kinde,
his mercy lasts for ay.

Give thanks with heart and minde
To God of gods alway:

For certainly
His mercies dure
Most firm and sure
Eternally.

The Lord of lords praise ye,
Whose mercies stil endure.

Great wonders only he
Doth work by his great pow'r:

For certainly, &c.

Which God Omnipotent,
By might and wisdom hie,
The heav'n and firmament

Did frame, as we may see:

For certainly, &c.

To him who did outstretch
This earth so great and wide,
Above the waters reach
Making it to abide:

For certainly, &c.

Great Lights he made to be,
For his grace lasteth ay:

Such as the Sun we see
To rule the lightsome day:

For certainly, &c.

Also the Moon so clear,
Which shineth in our sight,
The stars that do appear,
To guide the darksom night:

For certainly, &c.

To him that Egypt smote,
Who did his message scorn:
And in his anger hot
Did kil all their first born:

For certainly, &c.

Thence Israel out he brought:
For his grace lasteth ever.

With a strong hand he wrought,
And stretch out arm deliver:

For certainly, &c.

The sea he cut in two;
For his grace lasteth stil.

And through its midst to go
Made his own Israel:

For certainly, &c.

But overwhelm'd and lost
Was proud King Pharao,
With all his mighty host,
And chariots there also:

For certainly, &c.

To him who powerfully
His chosen people led,
Ev'n through the desert dry,
And in that place them fed:

For certainly, &c.

To Him great Kings who smote:
For his grace hath no bound.

Who slew and spared not
Kings famous and renown'd:

For certainly, &c.

Sihon th'Amorites King:
For his grace lasteth ever.

Og also who did reign
The land of Bashan over:

For certainly, &c.

Their land by lot he gave,
For his grace faileth never,

That Israel might it have,
In heritage for ever:

For certainly, &c.

Who hath remembered

Us, in our low estate;

And us delivered
From foes who did us hate:

For certainly, &c.

Who to all flesh gives food:
For his grace faileth never

Give thanks to God most good,
The God of heav'n for ever:

For certainly, &c.
