It’s the birthday of Isaac Watts (1674-1748), author of many of the best-known hymns in the English language. This is his paraphrase of Psalm 136.
Give to our God immortal praise;
Mercy and truth are all His ways.
Wonders of grace to God belong,
Repeat His mercies in your song.
Give to the Lord of lords 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.
He sent His Son with power to save
From guilt, and darkness, and the grave.
Wonders of grace to God belong,
Repeat His mercies in your song.
WONDERFUL!!!
