Hymnal: The Psalms of David #271 (1740) First Line: O Britain, praise thy mighty GOD Lyrics: 1 O Britain, praise thy mighty GOD,
And make his Honours known abroad,
He bid the Ocean round thee flow;
Not Bars of Brass could guard thee so.
2 Thy Children are secure and blest;
Thy Shores have Peace, thy Cities Rest;
He feeds thy Sons with finest Wheat,
And adds his Blessing to their Meat.
3 Thy changing Seasons he ordains,
Thine early and thy latter Rains;
His Flakes of Snow like Wool he sends,
And thus the springing Corn defends.
4 With hoary Frost he strews the Ground;
His Hail descends with clatt'ring Sound:
Where is the Man so vainly bold
That dares defy his dreadful Cold?
5 He bids the Southern Breezes blow;
The Ice dissolve, the Waters flow;
But he hath nobler Works and Ways
To call the Britons to his Praise.
6 To all the Isle his Laws are shown,
His Gospel through the Nation known;
He hath not thus reveal'd his Word
To ev'ry Land: Praise ye the Lord.
