Give thanks to God, invoke his name
Hymnal: Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #229 (1790) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to God, invoke his name,
And tell the world his grace;
Sound through the earth his deeds of fame,
That all may seek his face.
2 His cov'nant, which he kept in mind
For num'rous ages past,
To num'rous ages yet behind
In equal force shall last.
3 He sware to Abr'am and his seed,
And made the blessing sure;
Gentiles the ancient promise read,
And find his truth endure.
4 'Thy seed shall make all nations blest,
(Said the almighty voice,)
'And Canaan's land shall be their rest,
'The type of heav'nly joys.'
5 [How large the grant! how rich the grace!
To give them Canaan's land,
When they were strangers in the place,
A little feeble band!
6 Like pilgrims thro' the countries round
Securely they remove;
And haughty kings that on them frown'd
Severely he reprov'd.
7 'Touch mine anointed, and my arm
'Shall soon revenge the wrong:
'The man that does my prophets harm
'Shall know their God is strong.'
8 Then let the world forbear its rage,
Nor put the church in fear:
Isr'el must live thro' ev'ry age,
And be th' almighty's care.]
Pause 1
9 When Pharaoh dar'd to vex the saints,
And thus provok'd their God,
Moses was sent, at their complaints,
Arm'd with his dreadful rod.
10 He call'd for darkness, darkness came
Like an o'erwhelming flood;
He turn'd each lake and ev'ry stream
To lakes and streams of blood.
11 He gave the sign, and noisome flies
Thro' the whole country spread;
And frogs, in croaking armies, rise
About the monarch's bed.
12 Thro' fields, and towns, and palaces,
The ten-fold vengeance flew;
Locusts in swarms devour'd their trees,
And hail their cattle slew.
13 Then by an angel's midnight stroke
The flow'r of Egypt dy'd;
The strength of ev'ry house was broke,
Their glory and their pride.
14 Now let the world forbear its rage,
Nor put the church in fear:
Isr'el must live thro' ev'ry age,
And be th' Almighty's care.
Pause 2
15 Thus were the tribes from bondage brought,
And left the hated ground:
Each some Egyptian spoils had got,
And not one feeble found.
16 The Lord himself chose out their way,
And mark'd their journies right;
Gave them a leading cloud by day,
A fi'ry guide by night.
17 They thirst; and waters from the rock
In rich abundance flow,
And following still the course they took,
Ran all the desert through.
18 O wond'rous stream! O blessed type
Of ever-flowing grace!
So Christ, our Rock, maintains our life
Thro' all this wilderness.
19 Thus guarded by th' almighty hand,
The chosen tribes possest
Canaan, the rich, the promis'd land,
And there enjoy'd their rest.
20 Then let the world forbear its rage,
The church renounce her fear;
Isr'el must live thro' ev'ry age,
And be th' Almighty's care. Languages: English

Give thanks to God, invoke his name,

When Pharaoh dared to vex the saints,
And thus provoked their God,
Moses was sent at their complaints,
Armed with his dreadful rod.
He called for darkness; darkness came
Like an o'erwhelming flood;

To lakes and streams of blood.

Locusts in swarms devoured their trees,
And hail their cattle slew.
Then by an angel's midnight stroke
The flower of Egypt died;
The strength of every house was broke,
Their glory and their pride.
Now let the world forbear its rage,
Nor put the church in fear;
Isr'el must live through every age,
And be th' Almighty's care.
Thus were the tribes from bondage brought,
And left the hated ground;
Each some Egyptian spoils had got,
And not one feeble found.
The Lord himself chose out their way,
And marked their journeys right;
Gave them a leading cloud by day,
A fiery guide by night.
They thirst, and waters from the rock
In rich abundance flow;
And following still the course they took,
Ran all the desert through.
O wondrous stream! O blessed type
Of ever-flowing grace!
So Christ, our Rock, maintains our life
Through all this wilderness.
Thus guarded by th' Almighty hand,
The chosen tribes possessed
Canaan, the rich, the promised land,
And there enjoyed their rest.

O render Thanks and bless the Lord
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #CV (1760) Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 O render Thanks and bless the Lord;
invoke his sacred Name;
Acquaint the Nations with his Deeds,
his matchless Deeds proclaim.
2 Sing to his Praise, in lofty Hymns
his wondrous Works rehearse;
Make them the Theme of your Discourse,
and Subject of your Verse.
3 Rejoice in his Almighty Name,
alone to be ador'd;
And let their Hearts o'erflow with Joy,
that humbly see the Lord.
4 Seek ye the Lord, his saving Strength
devoutly still implore;
And where he's ever present, seek
his Face for evermore.
5 The Wonders that his Hands have wrought,
keep thankfully in Mind;
The righteous Statutes of his Mouth,
and Laws to us assign'd.
6 Know ye his Servant Abr'am's Seed
and Jacob's chosen Race,
7 He's still our God, his Judgments still
throughout the Earth take place.
8 His Cov'nant He hath kept in Mind
for num'rous Ages past,
Which yet for thousand Ages more,
in equal Force shall last.
9 First sign'd to Abr'am, next by Oath
to Isaac made secure;
10 To Jacob and his Heirs a Law
for ever to endure:
11 That Canaan's Land should be their Lot,
when yet but few they were:
12 But few in Number, and those few
all friendless Strangers there.
13 In Pilgrimage, from Realm to Realm,
securely they remov'd;
14 Whilst proudest Monarchs for their sakes,
severely He reprov'd:
15 "These mine Anointed are, said He,
"let none my Servants wrong,
"Nor treat the poorest Prophet ill
"that does to Me belong."
16 A Dearth at last, by his Command,
did through the Land prevail;
'Till Corn, the chief Support of Life,
sustaining Corn did fail.
17 But his indulgent Providence
had pious Joseph sent,
Sold into Egypt, but their Death
who sold him to prevent.
18 His Feet with heavy Chains were crush'd,
with Calumny his Fame:
19 'Till God's appointed Time and Word
to his Deliv'rance came.
20 The King his sov'reign Order sent,
and rescu'd him with Speed;
Whom private malice had confin'd,
the People's Ruler freed.
21 His Courts, Revenues, Realms, were all
subjected to his Will;
22 His greatest Princes to controul,
and teach his Statesmen Skill.
Part II
23 To Egypt then, invited Guests,
half-famish'd Isr'el came;
And Jacob held, by royal Grant,
the fertile Soil of Ham.
24 Th' Almighty there with such Increase
his People multiply'd,
'Till with their proud Oppressors they
in Strength and Number vy'd.
25 Their vast Increase th' Egyptian Hearts
with jealous Anger fir'd,
'Till they his Servants to destroy
by treach'rous Arts conspir'd.
26 His Servant Moses then He sent,
his chosen Aaron too;
27 Impower'd with Signs and Miracles
to prove their Mission true.
28 He call'd for Darkness, Darkness came,
Nature his Summons knew;
29 Each Stream and Lake, transform'd to Blood,
the wand'ring Fishes slew.
30 In putrid Floods, throughout the Land,
the Pest of Frogs was bred;
From noisome Fens sent up to croak
at Pharaoh's Board and Bed.
31 He gave the Sign, and Swarms of Flies
came down in cloudy Hosts;
Whilst Earth's enlivin'd Dust below
bread Lice through all their Coasts.
32 He sent them batt'ring Hail for Rain,
and Fire for cooling Dew.
33 He smote their Vines, and Forest Plants,
and Garden's Pride o'erthrew.
34 He spake the Word, and Locusts came,
and Caterpillars join'd;
They prey'd upon the poor Remains
the Storm had left behind.
35 From Trees to Herbage they descend,
no verdant Thing they spare;
But like the naked fallow Field,
leave all the Pastures bare.
36 From Fields to Villages and Towns,
commission'd Vengeance slew;
One fatal Stroke their eldest Hopes
and Strength of Egypt flew.
37 He brought his Servants forth, enrich'd
with Egypt's borrow'd Wealth;
And, what transcends all Treasures else,
enrich'd with vig'rous Health.
38 Egypt rejoic'd, in hopes to find
her Plagues with them remov'd;
Taught dearly now to fear worse Ills
by those already prov'd.
39 Their shrouding Canopy by Day
a journeying Cloud was spread:
A fiery Pillar all the Night
their desart Marches led.
40 They long'd for Flesh; with Ev'ning Quails
He furnish'd ev'ry Tent:
From Heav'n's own Granary, each Morn,
the Bread of Angels sent.
41 He smote the Rock; whose flinty Breast
pour'd forth a gushing Tide,
Whose flowing Stream, where'er they march'd,
the Desart's Drought supply'd.
42 For still He did on Abr'am's Faith
and ancient League reflect;
43 He brought his People forth with Joy,
with Triumph his dlect.
44 Quite rooting out their heathen Foes
from Canaan's fertile Soil,
To them in cheap Possession gave
the Fruit of others Toil:
45 That they his Statutes might observe,
his sacred Laws obey.
For Benefits so fast, let us
our Songs of Praise repay. Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #105 (1789) Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 O render thanks and bless the Lord,
Invoke his sacred name;
Acquaint the nations with his deeds,
His great and matchless deeds proclaim:
His wond'rous works in hymns rehearse,
Make them the subject of your verse.
2 Rejoice in his almighty name,
Which only ought to be ador'd;
And let their hearts o'erflow with joy,
Who seek with humble fear the Lord:
Seek ye the Lord, his strength implore,
Seek ye his face for evermore.
3 The wonders which his hands have wrought,
Keep ever thankfully in mind;
With all the statutes of his mouth,
And Laws he hath to us assign'd:
His works are glorious to the view,
His judgments all are just and treu.
4 Know ye, his servant Abr'am's seed
And likewise Jacob's chosen race;
He's still our God, and through the earth,
His righteous judgments will take place:
His word, for thousand ages past,
Which yet for thousand Ages more,
Hath stood and shall for ever last.
5 His cov'nant first to Abra'am sign'd
By oath to Isaac made secure;
To Jacob, and his heirs, confirm'd,
A law for ever to endure:
A Testament to Israel made,
Is on a firm foundation laid.
6 That Canaan's land should be their lot,
When yet but few of them they were;
But few in number, and those few,
Forlorn and helpless strangers there:
From realm t realm secure they mov'd,
Whilst kings were for their sakes reprov'd.
7 "These mine anointed are (said he)
"let none my chose servants wrong;
"Nor treat the poorest prophet ill
"That doth to me , his God, belong:"
At last he made their corn to fail,
And through the land a dearth prevail.
8 But Joseph he had sent before,
Who for a slave was sold and bound;
His feet, secur'd within the stocks,
'Till God's appointed time and word,
Had try'd him, and did help afford.
9 The king then sent, and set him free,
And lord of all his houshold made;
His wealth he gave to him in charge,
Before him all his counsels laid;
That he might teach his statesmen skill,
And tell the princes of his will.
Part II.
10 To Egypt then, invited guests,
With speed half-famish'd Isr'el came;
And Jacob, though a stranger, held
By royal grant the land of Ham:
There God his people multiply'd,
'Till they with their oppressors vy'd.
11 Their vast increase th' Egyptian hearts
With jealousy and anger fir'd;
'Till they, his servants to destroy,
With secret treachery conspir'd:
Their hearts against his people turn'd,
Their breasts with inward envy burn'd.
12 His servant Moses then he sent,
He sent his chosen Aaron too;
Empower'd with signs and miracles,
To prove their sacred mission true:
These shew'd the wonders of his hand,
And spread their tokens through the land.
13 He call'd for darkness, and it came,
Yet would they not his voice obey;
He turn'd their waters into blood,
And did their fish in numbers slay:
A noisome pest of frogs was bred,
And sent to croak at Pharaoh's bed.
14 He gave the sign, and swarms of flies,
Came from above in cloudy hosts;
While earth's enlivin'd dust below,
Bred hateful lice through all their coasts:
Hail stones he did for rain command,
And flames of fire, to plague the land.
15 He smote their fig trees and their vines,
Their lofty forest trees destroy'd;
Locus and caterpillars join'd
In dreadful swarms, the land annoy'd:
Their numbers cover'd all the ground,
And eat the fruit and herbage round.
16 He, in one night their first born smote,
The chief of all their pride he slew;
Bur from their land, enrich'd with spoils,
In health and strength his servants drew:
Egypt ws glad when they remov'd,
Who had to them so fatal proved.
17 God spread a cloud to cover them,
A fire at night was their sure guide;
He gave them quails at their desire,
And them with heav'nly bread supply'd:
He smote the rock, and from the wound,
The gushing waters flow'd around.
18 For he his promise kept in mind,
And brought his people forth with joy;
Gave them the fruit of others toil,
And did their heathen foes destroy:
That they his statutes might obey,
And to his laws due rev'rence pay. Languages: English
