- 1Songs of immortal praise belong
- To my almighty God:
- He hath my heart, and He my tongue,
- To spread His name abroad,
- To spread His name abroad.
- 2How great the works His hands hath wrought,
- How glorious in our sight!
- And men in ev'ry age have sought
- His wonders with delight,
- His wonders with delight.
- 3How most exact is nature's frame,
- Th'eternal God, how wise!
- His counsels never change the scheme
- That His first tho'ts devise,
- That His first tho'ts devise.
- 4When He thro' Christ redeemed our race,
- He fixed His cov'nant sure;
- His precious promises of grace
- To endless years endure,
- To endless years endure.
- 5Both time and nature, earth and skies,
- His heav'nly skill proclaim;
- But they alone are truly wise
- Who know in Christ His name,
- Who know in Christ His name.
