Verse 1

Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame,

Give to the Lord renown and power;

Ascribe due honours to His name,

And His eternal might adore.

Verse 2

O the immense, the amazing height,

The boundless grandeur of our God;

Who treads the world beneath His feet,

And sways the nations with His rod.

Verse 3

The Lord proclaims His strength aloud,

Upon the oceans and the land;

Speaking above the threatening cloud,

And lightnings blaze at His command.

Verse 4

Where’er He turns His powerful voice,

There shall the strongest cedars break;

Mountains shall tremble at the noise,

And valleys roar, and deserts quake.

Verse 5

Sovereign above the mighty flood,

The Saviour reigns forever King;

But makes His church His blest abode,

Where we His glorious praises sing.

Verse 6

In gentler language, here, the Lord

The counsels of His love imparts;

Amid the raging storm, His word

Speaks peace and blessing to our hearts.
