William Billings - Amherst - текст песни (слова)

To God the mighty Lord,
 Your joyful thanks repeat.
 To Him due praise afford
 As good as He is great;
 
 For God does prove
 Oar constant friend,
 His boundless love
 Shall never end.
 
 By his Almighty Hand
 Amazing Works are wrought;
 The Heavens by his command
 Were to perfection brought.
 
 He spread the oceans round
 About the spacious Land;
 And made the rising ground
 Above the waters stand.
 
 Through heaven he did display
 His numerous hosts of light:
 The Sun to rule by day,
 The moon and stars by night.
 
 He in our depth of woe
 On us with favor thought,
 And from our cruel foes
 In peace and safety brought.
 
 He does the food supply
 On which all creatures live:
 To God who reigns on high
 Eternal praises give.
