My Song Forever Shall Record

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Matching Instances: 18 Lyrics: 1. My song forever shall record The tender mercies of the Lord; Thy faithfulness will I proclaim, And every age shall know Thy name. 2. I sing of mercies that endure, Forever builded firm and sure, Of faithfulness that never dies, Established changeless in the skies. 3. Behold God’s truth and grace displayed, For He has faithful cov’nant made, And He has sworn that David’s Son Shall ever sit upon his throne. 4. For Him My mercy shall endure, My cov’nant made with him is sure; His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heav’ns remain. 5. The heavens shall join in glad accord To praise Thy wondrous works, O Lord; Thy faithfulness shall praise command Where holy ones assembled stand. 6. Who in the heavenly dwellings fair Can with the Lord Himself compare? Or who among the mighty shares The likeness that Jehovah bears? 7. With fear and reverence at His feet God’s holy ones in council meet; Yea, more than all about His throne Must He be feared, and He alone. 8. O Thou Jehovah, God of hosts, What mighty one Thy likeness boasts? In all Thy works and vast designs Thy faithfulness forever shines. 9. The swelling sea obeys Thy will, Its angry waves Thy voice can still; Thy mighty enemies are slain, Thy foes resist Thy power in vain. 10. The heavens and earth, by right divine, The world and all therein, are Thine; The whole creation’s wondrous frame Proclaims its maker’s glorious name. 11. Blest be the Lord forevermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore, His Word is faithful now as then; Blest be His name. Amen, Amen.

Anonymous

Author of "My Song Forever Shall Record" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
