Lyrics

O Thou God of end­less days,
Who can ut­ter all Thy praise?

Refrain

Hallelujah to Thy name,
Hallelujah, we adore;
Hallelujah to Thy name,
O for grace to love Thee more.

Thou hast giv­en us Thy Word
From Thy heart our hearts have heard.

Refrain

Thou hast full atone­ment made,
And for all the ran­som paid.

Refrain

Thou hast by Thy Spi­rit’s light
Shined away our spi­rit’s night.

Refrain

Thou hast pledged Thy pre­sence here,
Nearer than our sor­rows, near.

Refrain

Thou hast pro­mised full re­ward,
All in all art Thou, O Lord.
