Analysis of Eternal Love
Give thanks unto the Lord,
Love endures forever;
He is good and adored,
Steadfast not to sever.
Give thanks to God of gods,
Because of steadfast love;
All others are frauds,
Only true God thereof.
Thanks to the Lord of lords,
His steadfast love endures;
All others make discords,
That makes many detours.
For He makes great wonders,
Because of steadfast love;
Made perfect no blunders,
Keeps flowing from above.
He has understanding,
When He had made Heaven;
His mercy commanding,
That His grace has given.
He has spread out the earth,
Stretched above the waters;
Gave us the gift of birth,
To have sons and daughters.
He has made the great light,
His love will not sever;
Sun by day, moon by night,
To endure forever.
The sun rules by the day,
Moon and stars rule by night;
To the Lord they obey,
And being His delight.
