Give thanks to the Lord,

For His steadfast love;

Beloved and adored,

From Heaven above.

For His love endures,

Through us forever;

All the woes it cures,

And will not sever.

Give thanks to the God,

Above other gods;

The true God we laud,

All others are frauds.

To Him who alone,

Does such great wonders;

Done on our own,

Are merely blunders.

For His steadfast love,

Endures forever;

That helps us thereof,

With an endeavor.

He made the Heaven,

As we understand;

With love as given,

Through spoken command.

He spread out the earth,

Above the waters;

Lets us to give birth,

To sons and daughters.

He made the great light,

Through the moon and sun;

Wisdom and insight,

On what He has done.

The sun rules by day,

Moon and stars by night;

For a chance that they,

Allow to use sight.

For His steadfast love,

Endures forever;

Giving us thereof,

For ceasing never.
