Usually if some but not all the verses repeat significantly, it's "final verse same as the first." This time it's the first and second verses that share their second half: "Wonders of grace to God belong; repeat his mercies in your song." ...Or is it deliberate that we're "repeat"ing it? That would be clever.

Upon brief research it looks as if there were originally several more verses, some of which repeated that, and some of which had variations on the "His mercies ever shall endure" part of verse 3.
