God in the great Assembly sits

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXXII (1767) Topics: Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the Chruch Lyrics: 1 God in the great Assembly sits, Enthron'd, where his impartial Eye In State surveys the Earthly Gods, and does their weaker Judgments try. How can ye then unjustly judge; And be to daring Sinners kind? Strive ye the Orphans to defend, And let the Poor your Justice find. 2 Protect the humble helpless Man, When he's reduc'd to deep Distress, And let not him become a Prey. To such as would his Soul oppress. They neither know, nor will they learn, But blindly roving, go stray; Justice and Truth, the World's Support, Are now beginning to decay. 3 Well then may GOD, in Anger, say, "I've call'd you by my sacred Name, "I've said ye're GOD's, the Sons and Heirs "Of Glory and immortal Fame, "But ne'ertheless, your unjust Deeds, "To strict Account I'll surely call; "You all shall die like common Men, "like other haughty Tyrants fall. 4 Arise, and thy just Judgments, LORD, Throughout th'astonish'd World display, And all the Nations of the Earth, Shall own thy everlasting Sway. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English Tune Title: [God, in the great Assembly sits]

My Soul, inspir'd with sacred Love

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CIII (1767) Topics: Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the Chruch Lyrics: 1 My Soul, inspir'd with sacred Love, GOD's holy Name for ever bless; Of all his Favours mindful prove, And still thy grateful Thanks express: 'Tis he, that all thy Sins forgives; And after Sickness makes thee sound; From Danger he thy Life retrieves, By him with Grace and Mercy crown'd. 2 He with good Things thy Mouth supplies, Thy Vigour, Eagle-like, renews; He, when the guiltless Suff'rer cries, His Foe with just Revenge pursues; GOD made of old his righteous Ways, To Moses and our Fathers, known; His Works, to his eternal Praise, Were to the Sons of Jacob shown. 3 The LORD abounds with tender Love, And unexampled Acts of Grace; His waken'd Wrath doth slowly move, His willing Mercy flows apace. GOD will not always harshly chide, But with his Anger quickly part; And loves his Punishment to guide, More by his Love than our Desert. 4 As high as Heav'n its Arch extends Above this little Spot of Clay; So much his boundless Love transcends, The small Respects that we can pay: As far as 'tis from East to West, So far has he our Sins remov'd; Who with a Father's tender Breast, Has such as fear him always lov'd. 5 For GOD, who all our Frame surveys, Considers that we are but Clay; How fresh foe'er we seem, our Days Like Grass or Flow'rs must fade away: Whilst they are nipt with sudden Blasts, Nor can we find their former Place; GOD's faithful Mercy ever lasts, To those that fear him, and their Race. 6 This shall attend on such as still, Proceed in his appointed Way; And who not only know his Will, But to it, just Obedience pay: The LORD, the universal King, In Heav'n has fix'd his lofty Throne; To him, ye Angels, Praises sing, In whose great Strength his Pow'r is shown. 7 Ye that his just Commands obey, And hear and do his sacred Will; Ye Hosts of his, this Tribute pay, Who still what he ordains fulfill: Let ev'ry Creature jointly bless, The mighty LORD: and thou, my Heart, With grateful Joy thy Thanks express, And in this Concert bear thy Part. Scripture: Psalm 103 Languages: English Tune Title: [My Soul inspir'd by sacred Love]

O LORD, how lovely is the Place

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXXIV (1767) Topics: Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the Chruch Lyrics: 1 O LORD, how lovely is the Place Where thou, vouchsaf'st to shew thy Face, In Glory, ever bright array'd; My Soul faints for thy blest Abode, My Heart cries out to see her GOD With Lustre unobscur'd display'd. The Birds around thy Temple throng; And there they build and hatch their Young. 2 O LORD of Hosts! how blest are they, Who in thine House thy Praise display, Whose Hopes in thee are firmly plac'd; Who with a pious Zeal do tread The Ways that to thy Temple lead, For they shall never be disgrac's. In parched Vales they know no Want, For thou refreshing Rain shall grant. 3 Thus they proceed, free from all Fear, From Strength to Strength, 'till all appear On Sion's Mount, for ever bless'd. LORD let my humble Pray'r be heard, My Soul's sincere Desires regard; To thee, O Jacob's GOD! address'd; To us thy sure Protection bring, And look on thine anointed King. 4 For in thy Courts one Day to dwell, In solid Pleasure, doth excell A Thousand Days, wherever spent. A Habitation of my GOD, I choose to be my fix'd Abode; And, dwelling there, would be content, Rather to keep his Temple Gate, Than live with wicked Men in State. 5 For GOD, our great Defence and Light, To guide us in the Way that's right, His Grace and Glory still bestows; And to all those who justly live, The LORD shall ev'ry Blessing give; His plenteous Mercy ever flows. O GOD, how highly blest ishe, Whose Trust is still repos'd in thee! Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: [O Lord, how lovely is the Place]

Praise ye the LORD, our GOD to praise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXI (1767) Topics: Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the Chruch Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the LORD, our GOD to praise, My Soul her utmost Pow'r shall raise; With private Friends, and in the Throng Of Saints, his Praise shall be my Song: Great are his Works, and sought aright By those, who in them take Delight. 2 His Works are all of matchless Fame, And universal Glory claim; His Truth, confirm'd, through Ages past, Shall to eternal Ages last. The gracious LORD hath us enjoin'd, To keep his wond'rous Works in Mind. 3 His Bounty, like a flowing Tide, Has all his Servants Wants supply'd; And he will ever keep in Mind, His Cov'nant with our Fathers sign'd: For us he did his Pow'r display, To us the Heathen Lands convey. 4 Just are the Dealings of his Hands, Immutable are his Commands; He set his Saints from Bondage free, And then establish'd his Decree, For ever to remain the same; Holy and Rev'rend is his Name! 5 Who Wisdom's sacred Prize would win, Must with the Fear of GOD begin; Good Understanding, heav'nly Skill Have they, who know and do his Will: The Praise thereof is fixed sure, And shall for evermore endure. Scripture: Psalm 111 Languages: English Tune Title: [Praise ye the Lord, our God to praise]

The King, O LORD! with Songs of Praise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXI (1767) Topics: Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the King and State Lyrics: 1 The King, O LORD! with Songs of Praise, Shall in thy Strength rejoice; And with a chearful Voice. To thee shall lofty Anthems raise. With thy Salvation crown'd, He awes the Nations round. 2 For whatsoe'er his Lips request, Thou dost to him impart, The Wishes of his Heart. Thou hast with thy Acceptance bless'd; And to his humble Pray'r Didst lend a gracious Ear. 3 Thy Mercy and thy tender Care, Thou dost to him extend; A Crown of Gold thou mad'st him wear, Which ever shall endure, Since thou hast fix'd it sure. 4 He pray'd for Life, and thou, O LORD, Didst to his Pray'r attend His span thou didst extend; And kindly did to him afford, A Life of endless Joy, Which Death can ne'er destroy. 5 Thy sure Defence shall spread his Fame Through all the Nations round; His Deeds with Triumph crown'd Shall far advance his glorious Name; His Foes shall Homage pay, To his superior Sway. 6 Eternal Blessings thou bestow'st, And on his Royal Head, Dost tender Mercies shed: Whilst thou to him unclouded, shew'st The Brightness of thy Face. And mak'st his Joys encrease; Part II 7 Because the King on GOD alone, For timely Aid relies, The LORD his Wants supplies; His Mercy still supports his Throne, Against each daring Foe, That him would overthrow. 8 But, righteous LORD, thy stubborn Foes, shall not secure remain, Nor long their Place maintain; Thy vengeful Arm shall find out those, Who in Defiance stand, Of thy most just Command. 9 When Thou against them dost engage, And thy dread Pow'r employ; Their Forces to destroy: Thy Wrath shall, like an Oven's Rage, Them and their Hopes and them consume, In one tremendous Doom. 10 Nor shalt thy righteous Anger cease, Or with their Ruin end; But to their Seed extend; To root out all their guilty Race, And from the Page of Fame, Blot out their very Name. 11 For all their Thoughts, engag'd on Ill, To Malice were resign'd, And wicked Schemes design'd; But thou with watchful Care didst still The bad Effects prevent, On their most base Intent. 12 In vain, by shameful Flight they try, To shun thy dreadful Pow'r, Whilst thou dost round them show'r Thy fatal Darts, that swiftly fly, And with restless Might, O'ertake them in their Flight. 13 Thus, LORD, thy wond'rous Strength disclose, And thus with Glory crown'd, Be thy great Deeds renown'd; Whilst we glad Songs of Praise compose, To magnify the Fame Of thy most holy Name. Scripture: Psalm 21 Languages: English Tune Title: [The King, O Lord, with songs of praise]

The LORD himself doth condescend

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXIII (1767) Topics: Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to Believers Lyrics: 1 The LORD himself doth condescend, To be my Shepherd and my Friend; I on his faithfulness rely; His Care shall all my Wants supply. 2 In Pastures green he doth me lead, And there in Safety makes me feed, Refreshing Streams are ever nigh, My thirsty Soul to satify. 3 When stray'd, or languid, I complain, His Grace revives my Soul again; For his Name's sake, in Ways upright, He makes me walk with great Delight. 4 Yea, when Death's gloomy Vale I tread, With Joy, ev'n there, I'll lift my Head; From Fear and Dread he'll keep me free, His Rod and Staff shall comfort me. 5 Thou spread'st a Table, Lord for me, While Foes with Spite thy Goodness see; Thou dost my Head with Oil anoint, And a full Cup for me appoint. 6 Goodness and Mercy shall to me, Through all my Life extended be; And when my Pilgrimage is o'er, I'll dwell with thee for evermore. Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: [The Lord himself doth condescend]

The wicked Man's Transgression proves

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXXVI (1767) Topics: Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the Chruch Lyrics: 1 The wicked Man's Transgression proves, He fears not GOD, but Falshood loves; Mischievous Arts conceiving; The crafty Foe, with flatt'ring Lies, His cursed Purpose would disguise, In him there's no believing: But his dark Plots expos'd to Shame, Shall shew his Friendship's but a Name, Whate'er is his Profession; His wakeful Malice spends the Night, In forging his accursed Spite, In Schemes of great Oppression. But Reason whispers to my Heart, No Fear of God's before his Eyes. 2 But, LORD, thy Mercy's, my sure Hope, Thy sacred Truth's unmeasur'd Scope, Beyond the Skies extending; Thy Justice like the Hills remains, Thy Providence the World sustains, All Things on thee depending. Since of thy Goodness all partake, Thy shelt'ring Wings the Saints shall make, A Refuge for protection. Such Guests shall to thy Courts be led, And drink as from a Fountain Head, Of Joys, in full Perfection. 3 Thy Presence is eternal Day, To upright Hearts, O LORD! display, Thy Truth's invalued Treasure; Oh! let thy Saints thy Favour gain! With thee the Springs of Life remain, The Springs of Joy and Pleasure. Whilst they, at me, insulting spurn, Their Mischiefs on themselves return, For thou hast me protected: My harmless Life they would surprize, But down they're fall'n no more to rise, By all Mankind rejected. Scripture: Psalm 36 Languages: English Tune Title: [The wicked man's transgression proves]

Though wicked Men grow rich or great

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXXVII (1767) Topics: Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the Chruch Lyrics: 1 Though wicked Men grow rich or great, Yet let not their successful State, Thy Anger or thy Envy, raise; Howe'er they boast of blissful Days: For they cut down like tender Grass, Shall find their Glories quickly pass; Or like a Flow'r that droops its Head, Whose Beauty soon begins to fade. 2 Depend on GOD, and Him obey, So thou within the Land shalt stay; Secure from Danger, and from Want, And he shall thy Petitions grant: Make His Commands thy chief Delight, And then thy Duty to requite; To thee in Mercy he'll impart, The secret Wishes of thy Heart. 3 In all thy Ways trust thou the Lord, And he will needful Help afford; All thy Concerns to him resign, Who'll perfect ev'ry just Design: He'll make, as Light, serene and clear, Thy clouded Innocence appear; And will thy Righteousness display, Bright as the Sun's meridian Ray. 4 With quiet Mind on GOD depend, And patiently for him attend; Nor let it e'er thy Anger raise, When those who follow sinful Ways, With large Possessions still abound, And with Prosperity are crown'd; But let thy Soul at once despise Them and the Plots which they devise. 5 From Anger cease, and Wrath forsake; Let no ungovern'd Passion make Thy wav'ring Heart espouse their Crime. But trust in GOD, and wait his Time; For he shall sinful Men destroy; Whilst only they the Land enjoy, Who humbly seek the LORD most high, And with firm Hope on him rely. 6 How soon shall wicked Men decay! Their Place shall vanish quite away; Nor shall, by the strictest Search, be seen, The Traces where thy once have been: Whilst humble Souls possess the Earth, Rejoicing still with Godly Mirth; With Plenty they shall still abound, With gentle Peace be ever crown'd. Part II 7 While sinful Crouds, with false Design, Against the righteous few combine, And gnash their Teeth, and daring stand, To shake the vengeful threat'ning Hand; GOD shall their empty Plots deride, And laugh at their defeated pride; And while his Justice they defy, He sees their utter Ruin nigh. 8 They draw the Sword, and bend the Bow, The Poor and Needy to o'erthrow; They practise Mischief ev'ry Day, The Men of upright Lives to slay: But their strong Bows shall soon be broke, Their sharpen'd Weapon's mortal Stroke, Shall back to their own Bosoms turn, And make their Hearts with Anguish burn. 9 A little, with God's Favour bless'd, That's by a righteous Man possess'd, Is always to be valued more Than all the Sinner's costly Store: For GOD supports the just Man's Cause; But as for those that break his Laws, On them he will his Vengeance show'r And quell their unsuccessful Pow'r. 10 His constant Care the Upright guides, And over all their Life presides; Their Portion shall for ever last; Their Fruits of Plenty they shall taste; And when Distress o'erwhelms the Earth, Shall be unmov'd; and ev'n in Dearth, The LORD shall all their Wants supply, And make their Hearts o'erflow with Joy. 11 Not so the wicked Men, and those, Who proudly dare GOD's Will oppose: Destruction is their certain Lot; Their very Names shall be forgot: Like Fat of Lambs, their Hopes and they Shall in an Instant melt away; Like Smoke, that vanishes in Air, So shall they quickly disappear. Part III 12 While Sinners, brought to sad Decay, Still borrow on, and never pay; The Just have Pow'r and Will to give, And shall in flowing Plenty live: For such as GOD vouchsafes to bless, Shall peaceably the Earth possess; And those he curses, shall not stand, But fall by his Almighty Hand, 13 The good Man's Way is GOD's Delight; He orders all the Steps aright, Of him, who moves by his Command, And still upholds him with his Hand: Though he sometimes may be distress'd, Yet shall he ne'er be quite oppress'd; Since GOD with Help is always nigh, For those who on his Pow'r rely. 14 Though Age doth o'er my Youth prevail, Yet saw I ne'er the Righteous fail, Or Want o'ertake his num'rous Race; GOD made his offspring's Wealth increase; Because Compassion fill'd his Heart, And he did chearfully impart, Thus GOD in Mercy is inclin'd; To those who keep a gen'rous Mind. 15 With Caution shun each wicked Deed, In virtuous Ways with Zeal proceed, For GOD, who Judgment loves, does still Preserve his Saints secure from Ill; And never will forsake the Just, Who place in him their only Trust; But wicked Men shall soon decay, And like vain Shadows pass away. 16 The Upright shall possess the Land, His Portion shall for ever stand; The Lord shall his Protection be, And he shall walk from Danger free; His Tongue by Rules of Judgment moves; His Heart the Law of God approves; His Mouth with Wisdom is supply'd, And his sure Steps shall never slide. Part IV 17 In wait the watchful Sinner lies, In Hopes the Righteous to surprize; But all his Schemes must prove in vain, For he shall not his Purpose gain; God will not him defenceless leave, But when he's judged will reprieve; His Faults in Mercy he will see, And From Destruction set him free. 18 Still on the LORD with Hope rely, And he shall all thy Wants supply; Wait thou on him, keep his Command, And then exalted in the Land, A large Possession thou shalt gain, And from thy Foes secure remain: While wicked Men destroy'd shall be, And thou their dismal Fall shalt see. 19 The Wicked I in Pow'r have seen, And like a Bay-Tree fresh and green, That spreads its pleasant Branches round, Ev'n so was he with Plenty crown'd; But he was gone as quick as Thought, And, tho' I diligently fought, Yet could I, by no Sign or Trace, Or any Mark, find out his Place. 20 Observe the perfect Man with Care, And mark all such as upright are; Their roughest Days in Peace shall end, And happy Hours on them attend: Whilst on the latter End of those, Who dare GOD's holy Will oppose, A common Ruin, soon or late, Shall surely be their dismal Fate. 21 GOD, to the Just will Help afford, Their only Safe-guard is the LORD; Their Strength in Time of Need is he, Who will from Danger set them free: Because on him they still depend, The LORD will timely Succour send: The Wicked thus shall ne'er prevail, Nor shall the Righteous ever fail. Scripture: Psalm 37 Languages: English Tune Title: [Though wicked Men grow rich and great]

Thy Mercies, LORD, shall be my Song

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXXIX (1767) Topics: Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the Chruch Lyrics: 1 Thy Mercies, LORD, shall be my Song; My Song on them shall ever dwell; To Ages yet unborn my Tongue Thy never-failing Truth shall tell. 2 I have affirm'd and still maintain, Thy Mercy shall for ever last; Thy Truth that does the Heav'ns sustain, Like them shall stand for ever fast. 3 Thus spak'st thou by thy Prophet's Voice: "With David I a League have made; "To him, my Servant, and my Choice, "By solemn Oath this Grant convey'd: 4 "While Earth, and Seas, and Skies endure, "Thy Seed shall in my Sight remain; "To them thy Throne I will ensure; "They shall to endless Ages reign." 5 For such stupendous Truth and Love, Both Heav'n and Earth just Praises owe, By Choirs of Angels sung above, And by assembled Saints below. 6 What Seraph of celestial Birth To vie with Israel's GOD shall dare? Or who among the Gods of Earth, With our Almighty LORD compare? 7 With Rev'rence and religious Dread, His Saints should to his Temple press; His Fear thro' all their Hearts should spread, Who his Almighty Name confess. 8 LORD GOD of Armies, who can boast Of Strength or Pow'r, like thine renown'd; Of such a num'rous Faithful Host, As that which does thy Throne surround? 9 Thou dost the lawless Sea controul, And change the prospect of the Deep; Thou mak'st the sleeping Billows roll, Thou mak'st the rolling Billows sleep. 10 Thou brak'st in Pieces Rahab's Pride, And did'st op0pressing Pow'r disarm: Thy scatter'd Foes have dearly try'd The Force of thy resistless Arm. 11 In the, the sov'reign Right remains Of Earth and Heav'n; thee, Lord, alone The World and all that it contains, Their Maker and Preserver own. 12 The Poles on which the Globe does rest, Were form'd by thy creating Voice; Tabor and Hermon, East and West In thy sustaining Pow'r rejoice. 13 Thy Arm is mighty, strong thy Hand, Yet, LORD, thou dost with Justice reign; Posses'd of absolute Command, Thou Truth and Mercy dost maintain. 14 Happy, thrice happy they, who hear Thy sacred Trumpet's joyful Sound; Who may at Festivals appear, With thy most glorious Presence crown'd. 15 Thy Saints shall always be o'erjoy'd, Who on thy sacred Name rely; And, in thy Righteousness employ'd, Above their Foes be rais'd on high. 16 For in thy Strength they shall advance, Whose Conquests from thy Favour spring: The LORD of Hosts is our Defence, And Israel's GOD our Israel's King. 17 Thus spak'st thou by thy Prophet's Voice; "A mighty Champion I will send, "From Judah's Tribe have I made Choice "Of one who shall the rest defend. 18 "My Servant David I have found, "With holy Oil anointed him; "Him shall the Hand support that crown'd, "And guard that gave the Diadem. 19 "No Prince from him shall Tribute force, "No Son of Strife shall him annoy; "His spiteful Foes I will disperse, "And them before his Face destroy. 20 "My Truth and Grace shall him sustain; "His Armies, in well order'd Ranks, "Shall conquer, from the Tyrian Main, "To Tigris and Euphrates' Banks. 21 "Me for his Father he shall take, "His GOD and Rock of Safety call; "Him I my first-born Son will make, "And eartnly Kings his Subjects all. 22 "To him my Mercy I'll secure, "My Cov'nant make for ever fast. 29 "His Seed for ever shall endure; "His Throne 'till Heav'n dissolves shall last. Part II 23 "But if his Heirs my Law forsake, "And from my sacred Precepts stray; "If they my righteous Statutes break, "Nor strictly my Commands obey; 24 "Their Sins I'll visit with a Rod, "And for their Folly make them smart; "Yet will not cease to be their GOD, "Nor from my Truth, like them, depart. 25 "My Cov'nant I will ne'er revoke; "But in Remembrance fast retain; "The Thing that once my Lips have spoke, "Shall in eternal Force remain. 26 "Once have I sworn, but once for all, "And made my Holiness the Tie, "That I my Grant will ne'er recal, "Nor to my Servant David lie. 27 "Whose Throne and Race the constant Sun, "Shall, like his Course, establish'd see; "Of this, my Oath, thou conscious Moon, "In Heav'n my faithful Witness be." 28 Such was thy gracious Promise, LORD; But thou hast now our Tribes forsook, Thy own Anointed hast abhorr'd, And turn'd on him thy wrathful Look. 29 Thou seemest to have render'd void, The Cov'nant with thy Servant made: Thou hast his Dignity destroy'd, And in the Dust his Honour laid. 30 Of strong Holds thou hast him bereft, And brought his Bulwarks to decay; His frontier Coasts defenceeless left, A public Scorn, and common Prey. 31 His Ruin does glad Triumphs yield To Foes advanc'd by Thee to Might; Thou hast his conqu'ring Sword unsteel'd, His Valour turn'd to shameful Flight. 32 His Glory is to Darkness fled, His Throne is levll'd with the Ground; His Youth to wretched Bondage led, With Shame o'erwhelm'd and Sorrow drown'd. 33 How long shall we thy Absence mourn? Wilt thou for ever, LORD, retire? Shall thy consuming Anger burn, 'Till that and we at once expire? 34 Consider, LORD, how short a Space Thou dost for mortal Life ordain; No Method to prolong the Race, But loading it with Grief and Pain. 35 What Man is he that can controul Death's strict unalterable Doom? Or rescue from the Grave his Soul, The Grave that must Mankind intomb? 36 LORD, where's thy Love, thy boundless Grace, The Oath to which thy Truth did seal; Consign'd to David and his Race, The Grant which Time should ne'er repeal? 37 See how thy Servants treated are With Infamy, Reproach and Spite, Which in my silent Breast I bear From Nations of licentious Might. 38 How they reproaching thy great Name, Have made thy Servants Hope their Jest: Yet thy just praises we'll proclaim, And ever sing, the LORD be blest. Scripture: Psalm 89 Languages: English Tune Title: [Thy Mercies, Lord, shall be my Song]

To thee, O GOD, we render Praise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXV (1767) Topics: Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the Chruch Lyrics: 1 To thee, O GOD, we render Praise From Sion, thy blest Seat; Our promis'd Altars there we'll raise, And all our Vows compleat. O thou, who to my humble Pray'r, Didst bend thy list'ning Ear; To thee shall all Mankind repair, And at thy Throne appear. 2 Our Sins, tho' numberless, in vain To stop thy Mercy try, Whilst thou forgiv'st the guilty Stain, And washest out the Dye. Blest is the Man, who, near thee plac'd, Within thy Dwelling lives! Whilst we at humble Distance taste, The Joy thy Temple gives. 3 By wond'rous Acts, O GOD most just, Have we thy Answer found: In the remotest Nations trust, And those whom Seas surround. GOD by His Strength sets fast the Hills, And does his Pow'r engage, With which the stormy Waves he stills, And quells the Peope's Rage. Part II 4 Thou, LORD, dost barb'rous Lands dismay, When they thy Tokens view; With Joy they see the Night and Day, Each others Track pursue. From out thy unexhausted Store, Thy Rain refresh the Ground; Makes Lands, that barren were before, With Corn and Fruits abound. 5 On rising Ridges down it pours, And ev'ry Valley fills; And in the soft prolific Show'rs, A bless'd Increase distills. Thy Goodness does the circling Year, With smiling Plenty crown; And where thy glorious Paths appear, Thy Clouds drop Fatness down. 6 They drop on barren Forests, chang'd By them to Pastures green; The Hills in beauteous Order rang'd, In Robes of Joy are seen, Large Flocks the chearful Downs adorn, The teeming Vallies bring A plenteous Crop of full-ear'd Corn, And seem to laugh and sing. Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English Tune Title: [To thee, O God, we render Praise]
