1 Behold the sure foundation-stone
Which God in Zion lays,

1 To Jehovah hymn the lay,
Ever shall His love endure;

1 Thy name, Almighty Lord!
Shall sound through distant lands;

1 From all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator’s praise arise;

1 All ye nations, praise the Lord,
All ye lands, your voices raise;

1 Redeem’d from guilt, redeem’d from fears,
My soul enlarged, and dried my tears,

1 What shall I render to my God
For all His kindness shown?

1 I love the Lord: He heard my cries,
And pitied every groan:

1 All glory be to Thee,
Who dwellest high in heaven;

1 When forth from Egypt’s trembling strand
The tribes of Israel sped,
