Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P113a (1766) Hymnal Title: The Psalms of David Lyrics: 1 Ye that delight to serve the Lord,
The Honours of his Name record,
His sacred Name for ever bless;
Where'er the circling Sun displays
His rising Beams, or setting Rays,
Let Lands and Seas his Pow'r confess.
2 Not Time, nor Nature's narrow Rounds,
Can give his vast Dominion Bounds;
The Heav'ns are far below his Height:
Let no created Greatness dare
With our eternal GOD compare,
Armd with his uncreated Might.
3 He bows his glorious Head to view
What the bright Hosts of Angels do,
And bends his Care to mortal Things;
His sov'reign Hand exalts the Poor,
He takes the Needy from the Door,
And makes them Company for Kings.
4 When childless Families despair,
He sends the Blessing of an Heir,
To rescue their expiring Name;
The Mother, with a thankful Voice,
Proclaims his Praises and her Joys;
Let ev'ry Age advance his Fame. Topics: God and Condescension of Christ; God his sovereignty and goodness to man Scripture: Psalm 113 Languages: English
