O GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD (Psalm 136)

  1. O give thanks to the Lord for he is good,
    Great is his love, love without end.
    Give thanks to the God of gods,
    Great is his love; love without end,
    Give thanks to the Lord of Lord.
  2. Who alone has wrought marvellous works
    Great is his love, love without end.
    Whose wisdom it was made the skies,
    Great is his love; love without end.
    Who spread the earth on the seas.
  3. It was he who made the great lights,
    Great is his love; love without end.
    The sun to rule in the day,
    Great is his love; love without end.
    The moon and stars in the night.
  4. The first-born of the Egyptians he smote,
    Great is his love; love without end.
    Brought Israel out from their midst,
    Great is his love; love without end.
    Arm outstretched, with power in his hand.
  5. He divided the Red Sea in two,
    Great is his love; love without end.
    Made Israel pass through the midst,
    Great is his love; love without end.
    Flung Pharaoh and his force in the sea.
  6. Through the desert his people he led,
    Great is his love; love without end.
    Nations in their greatness he struck,
    Great is his love; love without end.
    Kings in their splendour he slew.
  7. He let Israel inherit their land,
    Great is his love; love without end.
    On his servant their land he bestowed
    Great is his love; love without end.
    He remembered us in our distress.
  8. And he snatched us away from our foes,
    Great is his love, love without end
    He gives food to all living things,
    Great is his love; love without end.
    To the God of heaven give thanks.
