Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise Our hearts and voices in his praise; His nature and his works invite To make this duty our delight. 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem, And gathers nations to his name; His mercy melts the stubborn soul, And makes the broken spirit whole. 3 He formed the stars, those heavenly flames, He counts their numbers, calls their names: His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound, A deep, where all our thoughts are drowned. 4 Great is the Lord, and great his might, And all his glories infinite; He crowns the meek, rewards the just, And treads the wicked to the dust. 5 But saints are lovely in his sight; He views his children with delight; He sees their hope, he knows their fear, And looks, and loves his image there. 6 Proclaim him King, pronounce him blest, He's your defense, your joy, your rest: When terrors rise and nations faint, God is the strength of every saint.

O God! Ere Heav'n And Earth Were Planned

Author: Mary O. Page Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: O God! ere Heav’n and earth were planned Lyrics: 1 O God! ere Heav’n and earth were planned, Adoring silence worshipped Thee; Now vast the universe doth stand, The temple of Thy majesty. 2 Its walls are wrought of sapphire bright; Its countless spires are starry flame: Suns on the boundless ether write The sovereign beauty of Thy name. 3 An earthly temple, by Thy grace, This day we dedicate to Thee; Deign to make here Thy dwelling place O Thou that fill’st immensity. 4 Fold us beneath Thy sheltering wings, As here we worship at Thy shrine; Ours be the peace Thy presence brings, The glory and the praise be Thine.
