Text:I will extol Thee, Lord, on high

P30a. 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.
