for his love endures for ever.*
Give thanks to the God of gods;
his love endures for ever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords;
his love endures for ever.
Alone he works great marvels;
his love endures for ever.
In wisdom he made the heavens;
his love endures for ever.
He laid the earth upon the waters;
his love endures for ever.
He made the great lights,
his love endures for ever,
The sun to rule by day,
his love endures for ever,
The moon and the stars to rule by night;
his love endures for ever.
He remembered us when we were cast down,
his love endures for ever,
and rescued us from our enemies;
his love endures for ever.
He gives food to all his creatures;
his love endures for ever.
Give thanks to the God of heaven,
for his love endures for ever.
