Psalm 136

Psalm 136

This morning’s hymn of praise is from “Our Own Hymn-Book – A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Public, Social and Private Worship.” It was compiled by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) and used at his church, The Metropolitan Tabernacle.

The words of this hymn are based on Psalm 136

Give to our God immortal praise;
Mercy and truth are all in His ways:

Wonders of grace to God belong,

Repeat His mercies in your song.

Give to the Lord of lord renown,

The King of kings with glory crown;

His mercies ever shall endure,

When lords and kings are known no more.

He built the earth, He spread the sky,

And fixed the starry lights on high:
Wonders of grace to God belong,

Repeat His mercies in your song.

He fills the sun with morning light,

He bids the moon direct the night;

His mercies ever shall endure,

When suns and moons shall shine no more.

The Jews He freed from Pharaoh’s hand,

And brought them to the promised land:

Wonders of grace to God belong,

Repeat His mercies in your song.

He saw the Gentiles dead in sin,

And felt His pity work within:

His mercies ever shall endure,

When death and sin shall reign no more.

He sent His Son with power to save
From guilt, and darkness to the grave

Wonders of grace to God belong,

Repeat His mercies in your song.

Through this vain world He guides our feet,

And leads us to His heavenly seat:

His mercies ever shall endure,

When this vain world shall be no more.

Written by Isaac Watts 1719
