O render thanks to Ail above,
The Fountain of eternal love,
Whose mercy firm, through ages past,
Has stood, and shall for ever last.

Who can His mighty deeds express,
Not only vast, but numberless!
What mortal eloquence can raise
A tribute equal to His praise!

Happy are they, and only they,
Who from Thy precepts never stray;
Who know what's right -- nor only so,
But always practise what they know.
