- 1To God the only wise,
- Our Saviour and our King,
- Let all the saints below the skies
- Their humble praises bring.
- 2’Tis His almighty love,
- His counsel, and His care,
- Preserves us safe from sin and death,
- And every hurtful snare.
- 3He will present our souls
- Unblemished and complete
- Before the glory of His face,
- With joys divinely great.
- 4Then all His faithful sons
- Shall meet around the throne,
- Shall bless the conduct of His grace,
- And make His wonders known.
- 5To our Redeemer, God
- Wisdom and power belongs,
- Immortal crowns of majesty,
- And everlasting songs.
- 6Amen.
