Praise, everlasting Praise, be paid

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LX (1766) Lyrics: 1 Praise, everlasting Praise, be paid To him that Earth's Foundation laid; Praise to the God, whose strong Decrees Sway the Creation as he please. 2 Praise to the Goodness of the Lord, Who rules his People by his Word, And there, as strong as his Decrees, He sets his kindest Promises. [3 Firm are the Words his Prophets give, Sweet Words on which his Children live; Each of them is the Voice of God, Who spoke and spread the Skies abroad. 4 Each of them pow'rful as that Sound That bid the new made Heav'ns go round; And stronger than the solid Poles, On which the Wheel of Nature rolls.] 5 Whence then should Doubts and fears arise? Why trickling Sorrows drown our Eyes? Slowly, alas! our Mind receives The Comfort that our Maker gives. 6 Oh, for a strong, a Lasting Faith, To credit what th' Almighty saith! T' embrace the Message of his Son, And call the Joys of Heav'n our own. 7 Then should the Earth's old Pillars shake, And all the Wheels of Nature break, Our steady Souls should fear no more Than solid Rocks when Billows roar. 8 Our everlasting Hopes arise Above the ruinable Skies, Where the eternal Builder reigns, And his own Courts his Pow'r sustains.
