Hymnal: Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #185a (1790)Meter: 8.6.8.6Lyrics: 1 My never-ceasing songs shall show
The mercies of the Lord;
And make succeeding ages know
How faithful is his word.
2 The sacred truths his lips pronounce
Shall firm as heav'n endure:
And if he speak a promise once,
Th' eternal grace is sure.
3 How long the race of David held
The promis'd Jewish throne!
But there's a nobler cov'nant seal'd
To David's greater Son.
4 His seed for ever shall possess
A throne above the skies;
The meanest subject of his grace
Shall to that glory rise.
5 Lord God of hosts, thy wond'rous ways
Are sung by saints above;
And saints on earth their honors raise
To thy unchanging love.Scripture: Psalm 89Languages: English
