God's wonders of creation, providence, redemption of Israel, and salvation of his people. <br /> <br />Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord; <br />His mercies still endure; <br />And be the King of kings adored; <br />His truth is ever sure. <br /> <br />What wonders hath his wisdom done! <br />How mighty is his hand! <br />Heav'n, earth, and sea, he framed alone; <br />How wide is his command <br /> <br />The sun supplies the day with light; <br />How bright his counsels shine! <br />The moon and stars adorn the night; <br />His works are all divine. <br /> <br />[He struck the sons of Egypt dead; <br />How dreadful is his rod! <br />And thence with joy his people led; <br />How gracious is our God! <br /> <br />He cleft the swelling sea in two; <br />His arm is great in might; <br />And gave the tribes a passage through; <br />His power and grace unite. <br /> <br />But Pharaoh's army there he drowned; <br />How glorious are his ways! <br />And brought his saints through desert ground; <br />Eternal be his praise! <br /> <br />Great monarchs fell beneath his hand; <br />Victorious is his sword; <br />While Isr'el took the promised land; <br />And faithful is his word.] <br /> <br />He saw the nations dead in sin; <br />He felt his pity move: <br />How sad the state the world was in! <br />How boundless was his love! <br /> <br />He sent to save us from our woe; <br />His goodness never fails; <br />From death, and hell, and every foe; <br />And still his grace prevails. <br /> <br />Give thanks to God the heav'nly King; <br />His mercies still endure: <br />Let the whole earth his praises sing; <br />His truth is ever sure.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-136/
