My Never-Ceasing Songs Shall Show

Melody -

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748

My never-ceasing songs shall show
The mercies of the Lord;
And make succeeding ages know
How faithful is his word.

2. The sacred truths his lips pronounce
Shall firm as heav'n endure;
And if he speak a promise once,
Th' eternal grace is sure.

3. How long the race of David held
The promised Jewish throne!
But there's a nobler cov'nant sealed
To David's greater Son.

4. His seed for ever shall possess
A throne above the skies;
The meanest subject of his grace
Shall to that glory rise.

5. Lord God of hosts, thy wondrous ways
Are sung by saints above;
And saints on earth their honours raise
To thy unchanging love.
