From eternity to eternity

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

  From eternity to eternity
Thy mercy and faithfulness endures, oh Lord!
  Who trusts in Thee,
  Who relies only on Thee,
Shall never come to grief!
  From eternity to eternity
May there be praises to Thee, might and power and honour
And wisdom, gratitude and glory!
