1 Songs of immortal praise belong
To my almighty God;
He hath my heart, and He my tongue,
To spread His name abroad.

2 How great the works His hands have wrought!
How glorious in our sight!
And men in every age have sought
His wonders with delight.

3 How most exact is nature's frame!
Th' eternal God, how wise!
His counsels never change the scheme
That His first thoughts devise.

4 When He through Christ redeemed our race
He fixed His covenant sure;
His precious promises of grace
To endless years endure.

5 Nature, and time, and earth, and skies,
His heavenly skill proclaim;
But they alone are truly wise,
Who know in Christ His name.
