Mercy Missive

Tune: Diademata

(\'Crown Him with many crowns\')

Psalm 136

********

O give thanks to the LORD

He is good, true His word

His mercy endures for ever

His supplies fail never

He God of gods, o\'er all

Does hear us when we call

He Lord of lords, and King of kings

Him all creation sings

 

He alone does great things

Wonders to pass He brings

By wisdom he the heavens made

They all abide firm, staid

He stretched out earth above

The waters in His love

Man\'s habitation here below

Yet God here may we know

 

He did make the great lights

They glorious to our sights

He made the sun to rule by day

Ordained in His wise way

And moon and star to rule

By night, they do not stall

But e\'er appear, His ordaining

They to Him glory bring

 

He smote Eygpt\'s firstborn

His enemies were shorn

He brought His people Israel

Out from there, they not fall

With strong hand, stretched out arm

Divides Red Sea, no harm

For Israel they did pass safe o\'er

On dry land to far shore

 

But Egypt He o\'erthrew

Death at Read Sea they knew

He led Israel through wilderness

Smote great kings, they confess

Amorite king Sihon

Bashan\'s King Og too gone

Israel did their land inherit

As in God\'s purpose fit

 

Israel His servant be

The Lord did recall, see

Their lowly state, He them redeemed

On them His face shone, beamed

Rescued from enemies

Gives food to all flesh, pleas

He does hear, God of heaven, just, fair

His mercy endures e\'er
