Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #120b (1787) Scripture: Psalm 65 First Line: 'Tis by thy strength the mountains stand Lyrics: 1 'Tis by thy strength the mountains stand,
God of eternal power;
The sea grows calm at thy command,
And tempests cease to roar.
2 Thy morning light and evening shade,
Successive comforts bring;
Thy plenteous fruits make harvest glad,
Thy flowers adorn the spring.
3 Seasons and times, and moon, and hours,
Heaven, earth and air are thine;
When clouds, distil in fruitful showers,
The Author is divine:
4 Those wandering cisterns in the sky
Borne by the winds around,
With watery treasures well supply
The furrows of the ground.
5 The thirsty ridges drink their fill,
And ranks of corn appear;
Thy ways abound with blessings still,
Thy goodness crowns the year.
