Psalm 136 We Thank You, Lord, for You Are Good
1. We thank You, Lord, for You are good;
Your mercy lives forever.
Your kindness from of old has stood;
Your love will keep us ever.
O God of gods, O sovereign Lord,
We bless You now with one accord:
Your love is everlasting.
2. You, Lord, alone did wondrous deeds;
Your mercy lives forever.
From You alone all good proceeds;
Your love will keep us ever.
Your wisdom made the heavens to be;
You formed the earth above the sea:
Your love is everlasting.
3. You made the starry lights to rise;
Your mercy lives forever.
Your glories shine in radiant skies;
Your love will keep us ever.
Your glowing moon enhances night.
Your sun brings forth each mornings light:
Your love is everlasting.
4. You rescue us from every foe;
Your mercy lives forever.
You feed Your creatures here below;
Your love will keep us ever.
We give You thanks, Creator, Lord;
We sing the glories of Your Word.
Your love is everlasting.
