Lyrics

To our almighty maker, God,
New honors be addressed;
His great salvation shines abroad,
And makes the nations blest.

He spoke the word to Abraham first,
His truth fulfills the grace;
The Gentiles make His name their trust,
And learn His righteousness.

Let the whole earth His love proclaim,
With all her different tongues,
And spread the honors of His name
In melody and songs.
