Text:Not unto us Lord not to us but do thou

PCXVb. Not unto us Lord not to us but do thou

1 Not unto us, Lord, not to us,
But thou the glory take
Unto thy name, both for thy truth,
And for thy mercies sake.

2 For wherefore should the heathen say,
What's of their God become?
3 Our God is in the heav'ns, he hath
Whatever pleas'd him done.

4 Their idols silver are and gold,
Men's handy- work they be.
5 Mouths have they, but they do not speak;
And eyes, but do not see.
6 Ears have they, but they do not hear,
Nought smell their noses do.
7 Hands have they, but they handle no;
and feet but do not go
And nothing speak they thro' their throat.

8 Like unto them are they
Who do them make, and all who do
Their trust upon them stay.
9 O Isa'l trust thou in the Lord,
He is their help and shield.
10 O Aaron's house, trust in the Lord,
He is their help and shield.

11 Who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord,
He is their help and shield.
12 The Lord hath mindful been of us,
His blessing he will yield.
The house of Isra'l bless he will;
He Aaron's house will bless.
1e He will bless them who fear the Lord,
The greater with the less,

14 Jehovah unto you, to you
And to your sons shall aid.
15 You are the blessed of the Lord,
That heav'n and earth hath made.
16 The heav'n unto Jehovah doth
The heav'ns to him belong:
But he the earth distributed
The sons of men among.

17 The dead praise not the Lord, nor such
To silence as descend:
But as for us we'll bless the Lord
From henceforth without end.
