- 1O render thanks to God above,
- The Fountain of eternal love,
- Whose mercy firm through ages past
- Has stood, and shall forever last.
- 2Who can His mighty deeds express,
- Not only vast but numberless?
- What mortal eloquence can raise
- His tribute of immortal praise?
- 3Extend to me that favor, Lord,
- Thou to Thy chosen dost afford;
- When Thou return'st to set them free,
- Let Thy salvation visit me.
- 4O may I worthy prove to see
- Thy saints in full prosperity,
- That I the joyful choir may join,
- And count Thy people's triumph mine.
- 5Let Israel's God be ever blessed,
- His Name eternally confessed:
- Let all His saints, with one accord,
- Sing loud Amens: praise ye the Lord.
