Lord, not to us, we claim no Share
Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, not to us, we claim no Share,
but to thy sacred Name
Give Glory, for thy Mercy's sake,
and Truth's eternal Fame.
2 Why should the Heathen cry, where's now
the God whom we adore?
3 Convince them that in Heav'n Thou art,
and uncontroul'd thy Pow'r.
4 Their Gods but Gold and Silver are,
the Works of mortal Hands;
5 With speechless Mouth, and sightless Eyes,
the molten Idol stands.
6 The Pageant has both Ears and Nose,
but neither hears nor smells;
7 Its Hands and Feet nor feel, nor move;
no Life within it dwells.
8 Such senseless Stocks they are, that we
can nothing like them find;
But those who on their Help rely,
and them for Gods design'd.
9 O Isr'el, make the Lord your Trust,
who is your Help and Shield;
10 Priests, Levites, trust in Him alone,
who only Help can yield.
11 Let all, who truly fear the Lord,
on Him they fear rely;
Who them in Danger can defend,
and all their Wants supply.
12,13 Of us He oft has mindful been,
and Isr'el's House will bless;
Priest, Levites, Proselytes, ev'n all
who his great Name confess.
14 On you, and on your Heirs He will
increase of Blessings bring:
15 Thrice happy you, who Fav'rites are
of this almighty King.
16 Heav'n's highest Orb of Glory, He
his Empire's Seat design'd;
And gave this lower Globe of Earth
a Portion to Mankind.
17 They who in Death and Silence sleep
to Him no Praise afford:
18 But we will bless for evermore
our ever-living Lord. Scripture: Psalm 115

Lord, not to us, we claim no share
Nahum Tate
1652 - 1715 Person Name: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Author of "Lord, not to us, we claim no share" in A Selection of Psalms and Hymns for ... Diocese of Nova Scotia. 3rd ed. Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715.
