To praise your name, give thanks, and sing,
To show your love by morning light,
And talk of all your truth at night.

Your works of grace, they brightly shine!
How deep your counsels! how divine!

How deep your counsels! how divine!

In gardens planted by your hand;
Let me within your courts be seen,
Like a young cedar, fresh and green.

Blest with your influence from above;
Not Lebanon with all its trees
Yields such a lovely sight as these.

(Nature decays, but grace must thrive).

Still makes them flourish, strong and fair.

A God unfaithful or unkind.
Laden with fruits of age, they show
The Lord is holy, just, and true.
