O God, most holy are
Thy ways,
And who like Thee
deserves my praise?
Thou only doest
wondrous things,
The whole wide world
Thy glory sings;
Thine outstretched
arm Thy
people saved,
Though sore distressed
and long enslaved.O
God, from Thee the
waters fled,
The depths were moved
with mighty dread,
The swelling clouds
their torrents poured,
And o’er the earth
the tempest
roared;
’Mid lightning’s flash
and thunder’s sound
Great trembling shook
the solid ground.
Thy way was in the
sea, O God,
Through mighty waters,
deep and broad;
None understood but
God alone,
To man Thy footsteps
were unknown;
But
safe Thy
people Thou didst
keep,
Almighty Shepherd of
Thy sheep.
