Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship ‎#243

243. Psalm 105

1. O render thanks and bless the Lord;
Invoke his sacred name;
Acquaint the nations with his deeds;
His matchless deeds proclaim.
Sing to his praise, in lofty hymns
His wondrous works rehearse;
Make them the theme of your discourse
And subject of your verse.

2. Rejoice in his almighty name,
Alone to be adored;
And let their hearts o'erflow with joy
Who humbly seek the Lord.
Seek ye the Lord, his saving strength
Devoutly still implore,
And where he's ever present, seek
His face forever more.

3. The wondrous works his hands have wro't
Keep thankfully in mind;
The righteous statutes of his mouth
And law to us assigned,
Know these, O child of Abr'am's seed
And Jacob's chosen race;
He's still our God, his judgments still
Thru'out the Earth take place.

4. His cov'nant he has kept in mind,
For num'rous ages past,
Which yet for thousand ages more
In equal force shall last.
First signed to Abr'am, next by oath
To Isaac made secure,
To Jacob and his heirs a low
Forever to endure.
