2 By his Almighty hand
Amazing works are wrought;
The Heav'ns, by his command,
Were to perfection brought.
For God will prove
Our constant friend;
His boundless love
Shall never end.
3 Thro' heav'n he did display
His num❜rous hosts of light;
The Sun to rule by day,
The Moon and Stars by night.
For God will prove
Our constant friend;
His boundless love
Shall never end.
4 He does the food supply,
On which all creatures live:
To God, who reigns on high,
Eternal praises give.
For God will prove
Our constant friend;
His boundless love
Shall never end.
PSALM CXXXVI. Version 2. 1 Give to our God immortal praise; Mercy and truth are all his ways; Wonders of grace to God belong, Repeat his mercies in your song.
2 Give to the Lord of Lords renown;
The King of Kings with glory crown;
His mercy ever shall endure, [more!
When Lords and Kings are known no
3 He built the earth-he spread the sky,
And fix'd the starry lights on high;
Wonders of grace to God belong,
Repeat his mercies in your song.
4 He fills the sun with morning light,
He bids the moon direct the night;
His mercy ever shall endure
When sun and moon shall shine no more.
5 He sent his son with pow'r to save
From guilt, and darkness, and the grave;
Wonders of grace to God belong,
Repeat his mercies in your song.
6 Thro' this vain world he guides our feet, And leads us to his heav'nly seat;
His mercies ever shall endure
When this vain world shall be no more!
1 Give thanks to God most high,
The universal Lord,
The sov'reign King of Kings;
And be his grace ador'd.
power and grace
Are still the same
And let his name
Have endless praise!
2 He saw the nations lie
All perishing in sin;
And pitied the sad state
Our ruin'd world was in.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure,
And ever sure
Abides thy word!
3 He sent his only Son
To save us from our woe,
From Satan, Sin, and Death,
And every hurtful foe :
His pow'r and grace
Are still the same
And let his name
Have endless praise.
4 Give thanks aloud to God,
To God the heav'nly King;
And let the spacious earth
His works and glory sing.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure,
And ever sure
Abides thy word.
1 Lift your voice, and thankful sing
Praises to our Heav'nly King;
'Twas his wisdom form'd the sky,
With the num'rous lights on high;
For his blessings far extend,
And his mercy knows no end!
2 He by his all-pow'rful might,
Fill'd the new-made world with light;
He ordain'd the glorious sun
Every day his course to run;
For his blessings far extend,
And his mercy knows no end.
3 All his creatures God doth feed,
His full hand supplies their need;
Let us then, with joyful mind,
Bless the Lord for ever kind;
For his blessings far extend,
And his mercy knows no end!
1 With all my pow'rs of heart and tongue, I'll praise my Maker in my song; Angels shall hear the notes I raise, Approve the song, and join the praise.
2 I'll sing thy truth and mercy, Lord;
I'll sing the wonders of thy word;
Not all thy works and names below
So much thy power and glory shew.
3 To God I cried when troubles rose,
He heard me, and subdued my foes;
He did my rising fears controul,
And strength diffus'd thro' all my soul.
4 Amidst a thousand snares I stand,
Upheld and guarded by thy hand;
Thy words my fainting soul revive,
And keep my dying faith alive.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him all creatures here below ;
Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
PSALM XXXIX. L.M.
1 Thou, Lord, by strictest search, hast known My rising up, my lying down;
My secret thoughts are known to thee,
Known long before conceiv'd by me.
2 Surrounded by thy pow'r I stand
On ev'ry side I find thy hand.
Oh! skill for human thought too high;
Too dazzling bright for mortal eye.
