Hymnal: Psalms, carefully suited to the Christian worship in the United States of America #224 (1791) Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Thy works of glory, mighty Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy works of glory, mighty Lord,
That rules the boisterous sea,
The sons of courage shall record,
Who tempt that dang'rous way.
2 At thy command the winds arise,
And swell the tow'ring waves;
The men, astonish'd mount the skies,
And sink in gaping graves.
[3 Again they climb the wat'ry hills,
And plunge in deeps again;
Each like a tott'ring drunkard reels,
And finds his courage vain.
4 Frighted to hear the tempest roar,
They pant with flutt'ring breath;
And, hopeless of the distant shore,
Expect immediate death.]
5 Then to the Lord they raise their cries,
He hears the loud request,
And orders silence through the skies,
And lays the floods to rest.
6 Sailors rejoice to lose their fears,
And see the storms allay'd:
Now to their eyes the port appears;
There let their vows be paid.
7 'Tis God that brings them safe to land;
Let stupid mortals know,
That waves are under his command,
And all the winds that blow.
8 Oh that the sons of men would praise
The goodness of the Lord!
And those that see thy wond'rous ways,
Thy wond'rous love record. Languages: English
