1.

For God’s mighty works we praise Him!
Jubilation fills each heart.
As we all His deeds remember,
Doubt and unbelief depart.
As He was, we are reminded,
To this hour He doth remain.
Therefore we will sing with boldness;
Lord, Thou ever art the same!

2.

Praise Him with me, all ye righteous;
All ye upright, join in praise.
Let us worship and exalt Him!
’Tis well-pleasing all our days.
All that lives and has a spirit—
All creation come and sing
Praises to the Lord of Heaven.
None is like our mighty King!

3.

Thanks, O Lord, for tribulation,
For temptation’s great distress;
It’s become a glorious fountain,
Flowing forth with blessedness.
Thanks that when I prayed in anguish
Thou didst not give in to me.
But Thy will didst Thou accomplish.
Hallelujah! Praise to Thee!

4.

Thanks for all that Thou hast taken;
Thanks that fetters Thou didst break.
All Thy ways are good and perfect;
Thanks for all Thou yet shalt take.
Praise to Thee, my King almighty!
All Thy laws are just and right.
Well Thou knowest my desire
To be pleasing in Thy sight.

5.

Honor, praise, and hallelujah!
To my King and to my Friend.
Sing Hosanna! Sing Hosanna!
Lord, Thy greatness has no end!
Thanks and praise, yes, pow’r and glory!
All is Thine eternally.
Of all honor Thou art worthy;
Thou didst give Thy life for me.
