This Work belongs to you:
Sing of his Name, his Ways, his Word,
How holy, just, and true!
2 His Mercy and his Righteousness
Let Heaven and Earth proclaim;
His Works of Nature and of Grace
Reveal his wond'rous Name.
3 His Wisdom and Almighty Word
The heav'nly Arches spread,
And by the Spirit of the Lord
Their shining Hosts were made.
4 He bid the liquid Waters flow
To their appointed Deep;
The flowing Seas their Limits know,
And their own Station keep.
5 Ye Tenants of the spacious Earth,
With Fear before him stand
He spake, and Nature took its Birth,
And rests on his Command.
6 He scorns the angry Nations Rage,
And breaks their vain Designs;
His Counsel stands thro' every Age,
And in full Glory shines. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English
