Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#64a

64a. I will extol thee, Lord, on high

1 I will extol thee, Lord, on high;
At thy command diseases fly:
Who but a God can speak and save
From the dark borders of the grave?

2 Sing to the Lord, ye saints of his,
And tell how large his goodness is:
Let all your pow'rs rejoice and bless,
While you record his holiness.

3 His anger but a moment stays;
His love is life and length of days:
Tho' grief and tears the night employ,
The morning star restores the joy.
