praise our God forever kind,

Rich with mercies that endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

through God's all commanding might, [Refrain]

3 Dazzling bright the sun obeys
God who shines with brighter rays, [Refrain]

4 Stars and moon that spangle night
all depend on heaven's light, [Refrain]

5 Creatures of the sea and land
all are fed by God's own hand, [Refrain]

praise our God forever kind, [Refrain]
