1. Not unto us, O Lord of Heav’n,
But unto Thee be glory given;
In love and truth Thou dost fulfill
The counsels of Thy sovereign will;
Though nations fail
Thy pow’r to own,
Yet Thou dost reign,
and Thou alone.
2. The idol gods of heathen lands
Are but the work of human hands;
They cannot see,
they cannot speak,
Their ears are deaf,
their hands are weak;
Like them shall be
all those who hold
To gods of silver and of gold.
3. Let Israel trust in God alone,
The Lord Whose grace
and pow’r are known;
To Him your full allegiance yield,
And He will be
your Help and Shield;
All those who fear Him
God will bless,
His saints have proved
His faithfulness.
4. All ye that fear Him and adore,
The Lord increase you
more and more;
Both great and small
who Him confess,
You and your children
He will bless.
Yea, we will ever bless His Name;
Praise ye the Lord,
His praise proclaim.
5. The heavens are God’s
since time began,
But He has given the earth to man;
The dead praise not the living God,
But we will sound His praise abroad,
Yea, we will ever bless His Name;
Praise ye the Lord,
His praise proclaim.
