Psalm 105 Abridged
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 65 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 105 First Line: Give thanks to God, invoke his name Lyrics:
Give thanks to God, invoke his name,
And tell the world his grace;
Sound through the earth his deeds of fame,
That all may seek his face.
His cov'nant, which he kept in mind
For num'rous ages past,
To num'rous ages yet behind
In equal force shall last.
He sware to Abraham and his seed,
And made the blessing sure;
Gentiles the ancient promise read,
And find his truth endure.
"Thy seed shall make all nations blest,"
(Said the Almighty voice,)
"And Canaan's land shall be their rest,
The type of heav'nly joys."
[How large the grant! how rich the grace,
To give them Canaan's land,
When they were strangers in the place,
A little feeble band!
Like pilgrims through the countries round
Securely they removed;
And haughty kings that on them frowned
Severely he reproved.
"Touch mine anointed, and my arm
Shall soon revenge the wrong:
The man that does my prophets harm,
Shall know their God is strong."
Then let the world forbear its rage,
Nor put the church in fear;
Isr'el must live through every age,
And be th' Almighty's care.]
When Pharaoh dared to vex the saints,
And thus provoked their God,
Moses was sent at their complaints,
Armed with his dreadful rod.
He called for darkness; darkness came
Like an o'erwhelming flood;
He turned each lake and every stream
To lakes and streams of blood.
He gave the sign, and noisome flies
Through the whole country spread;
And frogs in croaking armies rise
About the monarch's bed.
Through fields, and towns, and palaces,
The tenfold vengeance flew;
Locusts in swarms devoured their trees,
And hail their cattle slew.
Then by an angel's midnight stroke
The flower of Egypt died;
The strength of every house was broke,
Their glory and their pride.
Now let the world forbear its rage,
Nor put the church in fear;
Isr'el must live through every age,
And be th' Almighty's care.
Thus were the tribes from bondage brought,
And left the hated ground;
Each some Egyptian spoils had got,
And not one feeble found.
The Lord himself chose out their way,
And marked their journeys right;
Gave them a leading cloud by day,
A fiery guide by night.
They thirst, and waters from the rock
In rich abundance flow;
And following still the course they took,
Ran all the desert through.
O wondrous stream! O blessed type
Of ever-flowing grace!
So Christ, our Rock, maintains our life
Through all this wilderness.
Thus guarded by th' Almighty hand,
The chosen tribes possessed
Canaan, the rich, the promised land,
And there enjoyed their rest.
Then let the world forbear its rage,
The church renounce her fear;
Isr'el must live through every age,
And be th' Almighty's care.

Psalm 105: Give thanks to God, call on his name
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 105 First Line: Give thanks to God, call on his name Lyrics:
1Give thanks to God, call on his name;
to men his deeds make known.
2Sing ye to him, sing psalms; proclaim
his wondrous works each one.
3See that ye in his holy name
to glory do accord;
And let the heart of ev’ry one
rejoice that seeks the Lord.
4The Lord Almighty, and his strength,
with stedfast hearts seek ye:
His blessed and his gracious face
seek ye continually.
5Think on the works that he hath done,
which admiration breed;
His wonders, and the judgments all
which from his mouth proceed;
6O ye that are of Abr’ham’s race,
his servant well approv’n;
And ye that Jacob’s children are,
whom he chose for his own.
7Because he, and he only, is
the mighty Lord our God;
And his most righteous judgments are
in all the earth abroad.
8His cov’nant he remember’d hath,
that it may ever stand:
To thousand generations
the word he did command.
9Which covenant he firmly made
with faithful Abraham,
And unto Isaac, by his oath,
he did renew the same:
10And unto Jacob, for a law,
he made it firm and sure,
A covenant to Israel,
which ever should endure.
11He said, I’ll give Canaan’s land
for heritage to you;
12While they were strangers there, and few,
in number very few:
13While yet they went from land to land
without a sure abode;
And while through sundry kingdoms they
did wander far abroad;
14Yet, notwithstanding suffer’d he
no man to do them wrong:
Yea, for their sakes, he did reprove
kings, who were great and strong.
15Thus did he say, Touch ye not those
that mine anointed be,
Nor do the prophets any harm
that do pertain to me.
16He call’d for famine on the land,
he brake the staff of bread:
17But yet he sent a man before,
by whom they should be fed;
Ev’n Joseph, whom unnat’rally
sell for a slave did they;
18Whose feet with fetters they did hurt,
and he in irons lay;
19Until the time that his word came
to give him liberty;
The word and purpose of the Lord
did him in prison try.
20Then sent the king, and did command
that he enlarg’d should be:
He that the people’s ruler was
did send to set him free.
21A lord to rule his family
he rais’d him, as most fit;
To him of all that he possess’d
he did the charge commit:
22That he might at his pleasure bind
the princes of the land;
And he might teach his senators
wisdom to understand.
23The people then of Israel
down into Egypt came;
And Jacob also sojourned
within the land of Ham.
24And he did greatly by his pow’r
increase his people there;
And stronger than their enemies
they by his blessing were.
25Their heart he turned to envy
his folk maliciously,
With those that his own servants were
to deal in subtilty.
26His servant Moses he did send,
Aaron his chosen one.
27By these his signs and wonders great
in Ham’s land were made known.
28Darkness he sent, and made it dark;
his word they did obey.
29He turn’d their waters into blood,
and he their fish did slay.
30The land in plenty brought forth frogs
in chambers of their kings.
31His word all sorts of flies and lice
in all their borders brings.
32He hail for rain, and flaming fire
into their land he sent:
33And he their vines and fig-trees smote:
trees of their coasts he rent.
34He spake, and caterpillars came,
locusts did much abound;
35Which in their land all herbs consum’d,
and all fruits of their ground.
36He smote all first-born in their land,
chief of their strength each one.
37With gold and silver brought them forth,
weak in their tribes were none.
38Egypt was glad when forth they went,
their fear on them did light.
39He spread a cloud for covering,
and fire to shine by night.
40They ask’d, and he brought quails: with bread
of heav’n he filled them.
41He open’d rocks, floods gush’d, and ran
in deserts like a stream.
42For on his holy promise he,
and servant Abr’ham, thought.
43With joy his people, his elect
with gladness, forth he brought.
44And unto them the pleasant lands
he of the heathen gave;
That of the people’s labour they
inheritance might have.
45That they his statutes might observe
according to his word;
And that they might his laws obey.
Give praise unto the Lord.
Psalm 105: Give thanks to God, call on his name
O render Thanks and bless the Lord
Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 O render Thanks and bless the Lord;
invoke his sacred Name;
Acquaint the Nations with his Deeds,
his matchless Deeds proclaim,
2 Sing to his Praise, in lofty Hymns
his wondrous Works rehearse;
Make them the Theme of your Discourse,
and Subject of your Verse.
3 Rejoice in his Almighty Name,
alone to be ador'd;
And let their Hearts o'erflow with Joy,
that humbly see the Lord.
4 Seek ye the Lord, his saving Strength
devoutly still implore;
And where he's ever present, seek
his Face for evermore.
5 The Wonders that his Hands have wrought,
keep thankfully in Mind;
The righteous Statutes of his Mouth,
and Laws to us assign'd.
6 Know ye his Servant Abr'am's Seed
and Jacob's chosen Race,
7 He's still our God, his Judgments still
throughout the Earth take place.
8 His Cov'nant he hath kept in Mind
for num'rous Ages past,
Which yet for thousand Ages more,
in equal Force shall last.
9 First sign'd to Abr'am, next by Oath
to Isaac made secure;
10 To Jacob and his Heirs a Law
for ever to endure:
11 That Canaan's Land should be their Lot,
when yet but few they were:
12 But few in Number, and those few
all friendless Strangers there.
13 In Pilgrimage, from Realm to Realm,
securely they remov'd;
14 Whilst proudest Monarchs for their sakes,
severely he reprov'd:
15 "These mine Anointed are, said he,
"let none my Servants wrong,
"Nor treat the poorest Prophet ill
"that does to me belong."
16 A Dearth at last, by his Command,
did through the land prevail;
'Till Corn, the chief Support of Life,
sustaining Corn did fail.
17 But his indulgent Providence
had pious Joseph sent,
Sold into Egypt, but their Death
who sold him to prevent.
18 His Feet with heavy Chains were crush'd,
with Calumny his Fame;
19 'Till God's appointed Time and word
to his Deliv'rance came.
20 The King his Sov'reign order sent,
and rescu'd him with Speed;
Whom private malice had confin'd,
the People's ruler freed.
21 His Courts, Revenues, Realms, were all
subjected to his Will;
22 His greatest Princes to controul,
and teach his Statesmen Skill.
Part II
23 To Egypt then, invited Guests,
half-famish'd Isr'el came;
And Jacob held, by Royal Grant,
the fertile Soils of Ham.
24 Th' Almighty there with such Increase
his People multiply'd,
'Till with their proud Oppressors they
in Strength and Number vy'd.
25 Their vast Increase th' Egyptian Hearts
with jealous Anger fir'd,
'Till they his Servants to destroy
by treach'rous Arts conspir'd.
26 His Servant Moses then he sent,
his chosen Aaron too;
27 Empower'd with Signs and Miracles
to prove their Mission true.
28 He call'd for Darkness, Darkness came,
Nature his Summons knew;
29 Each Stream and Lake, transform'd to Blood,
the wand'ring Fishes slew.
30 In putrid Floods, throughout the Land,
the Pest of Frogs was bred;
From noisome Fens sent up to croak
at Pharaoh's Board and Bed.
31 He gave the Sign, and Swarms of Flies
came down in cloudy Hosts;
Whilst Earth's enlivin'd Dust below
bread Lice through all their Coasts.
32 He sent them batt'ring Hail for Rain,
and Fire for cooling Dew.
33 He smote their Vines, and Forest Plants,
and Garden's Pride o'erthrew.
34 He spake the word, and Locusts came,
and Caterpillars join'd;
They prey'd upon the poor Remains
the Storm had left behind.
35 From Trees to Herbage they descend,
no verdant Thing they spare;
But like the naked fallow Field,
leave all the Pastures bare.
36 From Fields to Villages and Towns,
commission'd Vengeance slew
One fatal Stroke their eldest Hopes
and Strength of Egypt flew.
37 He brought his Servants forth, enrich'd
with Egypt's borrow'd Wealth;
And, what transcends all Treasures else,
enrich'd with vig'rous Health.
38 Egypt rejoic'd, in hopes to find
her Plagues with them remov'd;
Taught dearly now to fear worse Ills
by those already prov'd.
39 Their shrouding Canopy by Day
a journeying Cloud was spread:
A fiery Pillar all the Night
their desart Marches led.
40 They long'd for Flesh; with Ev'ning Quails
he furnish'd ev'ry Tent:
From Heav'n's own Granary, each Morn,
the Bread of Angels sent.
41 He smote the rock; whose flinty Breast
pour'd forth a gushing Tide,
Whose flowing Stream, where'er they march'd,
the Desart's Drought supply'd.
42 For still he did on Abr'am's Faith
and ancient League reflect;
43 He brought his People forth with Joy,
with Triumph his Elect.
44 Quite rooting out their Heathen Foes
from Canaan's fertile soil,
To them in cheap Possession gave
the Fruit of others Toil:
45 That they his Statutes might observe,
his sacred Laws obey.
For Benefits so fast, let us
our Songs of Praise repay.

Unto the Lord Lift Thankful Voices
O to Jehovah give ye thanks, and call
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 O To JEHOVAH give ye thanks,
and call upon his name;
Among the people show his deeds
and spread abroad his fame.
2 To Him with raised voices sing,
sing psalms to Him with joy:
In telling ail his wondrous works
your grateful tongues employ.
3 To glory in his holy name
with due respect accord:
And let the hearts of all rejoyce
who humbly seek the LORD.
4 Seek ye the LORD mod earnestly,
his saving pow'r implore:
O seek the shinings of his face,
and seek them evermore!
5 Recall to mind what He hath wrought,
each admirable deed,
His wonders, and the judgments which
did from his mouth proceed.
[2 Part]
6 O ye the seed of Abraham,
his servant and his friend,
And ye the chosen race who from
his Jacob dear descend.
7 JEHOVAH the Almighty is
by covenant our God:
And his most righteous judgments are
in all the earth abroad.
8 His covenant He ever minds,
the word He did command,
Even to a thousand ages down
unshaken still to stand.
9 The covenant which first He made
with faithful Abraham;
And then to Isaac with an oath
did He renew the same;
10 And then to Jacob for a law,
He made it firm and sure,
A covenant to Israel
which ever should endure.
11 Wherein He said, 'I will to you
'the land of Canaan give,
'The lot of your inheritance,
'where you and your's shall live.'
12 And when in number they were small
against their foes to stand;
Yea at the first but very few,
and strangers in the land;
13 When they thro' various nations went,
from realm to realm remov'd;
14 He suffer'd none to do them wrong,
but Kings for them reprov'd.
15 He said to those who sat on thrones,
let no presumptuous arm
Dare touch my dear anointed ones,
nor do my prophets harm.
[3 Part]
16 He call'd a famine on the land,
and break the staff of bread.
17 But he before had sent a man
by whom they should be fed:
Joseph was into Egypt sold,
and there a slave was made;
18 Whose feet with fetters hurt, his soul
was pierc'd, in irons laid.
19 Till in due time the blessed word
of inspiration came,
A revelation from the LORD
that try'd and clear'd his name:
20 And then the King commandment gave,
that he enlarg'd should be;
The sov'reign of the nation sent
and set him fully free.
21 Yea made him ruler of his house,
the chief of all his land;
And all the substance he possess'd
committed to his hand.
22 With full commission, at his will
his princes to controul,
And teach his wisest senators
the wisdom how to rule.
23 His father Isr'el with his house
then into Egypt came;
And Jacob was a sojourner
within the land or Ham.
[4 Part]
24 His people then exceedingly
He multiplied there,
And made them mightier than those
who their oppressors were.
25 Their hearts then turn'd, that they to hate
his people, did arise;
And with his servants craftily
to deal, did they devise.
26 His servant Moses then He sent,
Aaron his chosen too;
27 Who did within the land of Ham
His signs and wonders show.
28 He darkness sent, and made it dark:
all things his word obey:
29 He turn'd their waters into blood,
and He their fish did slay.
30 Great swarms of frogs spread o'er their land;
Yea chambers of their kings:
31 His word ail sorts of flies and lice
in all their borders brings.
32 For rain he pour'd down storms of hail;
flames on their land he sent:
33 When He their vines and fig-trees smote,
yea all their trees He rent.
34 He spake, and caterpillars came,
and locusts swarm'd around;
35 Which eat the herbs of all their fields,
and fruits of all their ground.
36 Then in one dreadful night He slew
their first-born thro' the land,
The chief of all their strength, ev'n by
a mighty angel's hand.
[5 Part]
37 But thence with gold and silver He
His people made to pass;
Nor had they one among their tribes
that faint 'or feeble was.
38 All Egypt was exceeding glad,
to see them thence depart;
So great a fear of Jacob's race,
had seiz'd on ev'ry heart.
39 By day He for a cov'ring spread
a cloud; and in the night
He made it like a shining fire,
to give them kindly light.
40 He brought them living quails for food
when flesh they ask'd to have;
And satisfy'd them with the bread
which then from heav'n He gave.
41 He open'd wide the flinty rock,
there gushed out a stream;
Which through the dry and desart land
in rivers follow'd them.
42 He on his holy promises,
and servant Abr'ham thought:
43 With joy his people, and with songs
He forth his chosen brought.
44 And then to them the pleasant lands
He of the heathen gave,
That of the nations labours they
inheritance might have.
45 That they his statutes might observe
in perfect purity;
And in full freedom keep his laws:
sing HALLELUJAH ye!
O to Jehovah give ye thanks, and call
Praise the Lord, the Day Is Won!

all Canaan land will give:
The lot of your inheritance,
wherein your seed shall live.
12 Although their number at that time
did very small appeare:
Yea very small, and in the land
they then but strangers were.
13 While yet they walked from land to land
without a sure abode:
And while from sundry kingdomes they
did wander all abroad.
14 And wrong at no oppressors hand
he suffered them to take:
But even great and mighty Kings
reproved for their sake.
15 And thus he said: Touch ye not those
that mine annointed be:
Nor do the Prophets any harm
that do pertain to me.
16 He cal'd a dearth upon the land,
of bread stroid the store:
But he against the time of need
did send a man before.
The third Part.
17 Even Joseph which had once been sold
to live a slave in wo:
Whose feet they hurt in stocks, whose soul
the iron pierc'd also
18 Untill the time came, when his cause
was known apparently:
The mighty word of God the Lord
his faultlesse truth did trie.
19 The King sent and delivered him
from prison where he was:
20 The ruler of the people then
did freely let him passe.
21 And over all his house he made
him lord, to beare the sway:
And of his substance made him have
the rule and all the stay.
22 That he might to his will instruct
the Princes of the land:
And wisdomes lore his ancieth men
might cause to understand.
23 Then into the Egyptian land
came Israel also:
And Jacob in the land of Ham
did live a stranger tho.
24 His people he exceedingly
in numbers made to flow,
And over all their enemies,
in strength he made them grow.
25 Whose heart he turn'd, that they with hate
his people did intreat:
And did his servants wrongfully
abuse with base deceit.
The fourth Part.
26 His faithfull servant Moses then,
and Aaron whom he chose,
He did command to go to them,
his message to disclose.
27 His wonderful and mighty signes
among them they did show:
And wonders in the land of Ham
then did they work also.
28 Darknesse he sent, and made it dark
in stead of brighter day:
And unot his commision,
they did not disobey.
29 He turn'd their waters into blood,
he did their fishes slay:
30 Their land brought frogs even in the place
where their King Pharaoh lay.
31 He spake, and at his voice there came
great swarms of noisome flies,
And all the quarters of their land
were fil'd with crawling lice.
32 He gave them cold and stony haile
instead of milder raine:
And fiery flames within their land
he sent unto their paine.
33 He smote their vines and all their trees
whereon the figs did grow:
And all the trees within their coasts
downe did he overthrow.
34 He spake, then Caterpillars did
and Grasshoppers abound:
35 Which ate the grasse in all their land,
and fruit of all their ground.
The fifth Part.
36 The first-begotten in their land,
eke deadly he did smite:
Yea the beginning and first fruit
of all their force and might:
37 With gold and silver he them brought
from Egypt land to passe:
And in the number of their Tribes
no feeble one there was.
38 Egypt was glad and joyfull then
when they did thence depart:
For terrour and the feare of them
was faln upon their heart:
39 To shroud them from the parching heat
a cloud he did display:
And fire he sent to give them light,
when night had hid the day.
40 They asked, and he caused Quailes
to raine at their request:
And fully with the bread of heaven
their hunger he represt.
41 He opened the stony rock,
and waters gushed out:
And in the dry and parched ground
like rivers ran about.
42 For of his holy covenant
aye mindfull was he tho:
Which to his servant Abraham
he plighted long ago.
43 He brought his people forth with mirth,
and his elect with joy,
Out of the cruell land where they
had liv'd in great annoy.
44 And of the heathen men he gave
to them the fruitfull lands:
The labours of the people eke
they take into their hands.
45 That they his holy statutes might
observe for evermore:
And faithfully obey his lawes:
praise ye the Lord therefore.
Confitemini Dom.

Great God of All, We Sing Your Praise
Give Thanks to God, call on his Name
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1. Give Thanks to God, call on his Name;
And make his Deeds to Nations known:
2. Sing ye, in sacred Hymns, his Praise;
Let all his wondrous Works be shown.
3. Praise in his holy Name; and let
Your Hearts rejoice, that seek the Lord.
4. Seek ye the Lord, his Strength, and Face;
Thus ever be the Lord ador'd.
5. Remember what great Works he wrought;
What Judgments from his Mouth proceed;
6. O ye his Servants, Abr'am's Race,
And ye his chosen Jacob's Seed.
7. He's specially the Lord, our God;
His Judgments thro' the Earth extend.
8. His Cov'nant firm has ever stood;
Nor shall a Thousand Ages End.
9. Which Cov'nant he with Abr'am made;
And with an Oath to Isaac swore:
10. With Jacob fix'd it for a Law,
And with his Heirs forevermore.
11. "Canaan, said he, to thee I'll give,
"The Lot your Children shall command:
12. When they, in Number, were but few.
Yea, few, and Strangers in the Land.
13. When they among the Nations went,
And still from Realm to Realm remov'd;
14. He suffer'd none to do them wrong;
Yea, Monarchs, for their Sakes, reprov'd.
15. Touch not, said he, my Servants dear,
Whom I've anointed by mine Arm;
And, at your Peril, see that ye,
Not, in the least, my Prophets harm.
Second Part
16. At length, a Famine thro' the Land,
He sent; which brake the Staff of Bread.
17. He first a Man, ev'n Joseph, sent;
Who, sold a Slave, to Ham was led.
18. His Feet they hurt with heavy Chains;
It pierc'd his Soul to wound his Name.
19. Until the Time his Word took Place;
God's Word, which try'd, and clear'd his Fame.
20. The King his royal Edict gave,
To set him free from all his Bands.
21. He made him Lord of all his House;
And Ruler over all his Lands.
22. Princes at Pleasure to controul;
Wisely his Senators to guide.
23. Then Isr'el down to Egypt came;
Did there a Sojourner reside.
24. His People greatly he encreas'd,
And bless'd with numerous Families:
He made them soon in Strength exceed
Their proud oppressing Enemies:
25. For he had turn'd their Hearts to hate
His People, they in Love received;
They sought his Servants to destroy,
Them oft by subtile Arts deceiv'd.
Third Part
26. His Servant Moses then he sent,
With chosen A'ron, in his Name;
27. Confirm'd their Word, with pow'rful Signs,
And Wonders, in the Land of Ham.
28. Darkness he call'd, thick Darkness came;
Nature the sov'reign Orders knew.
29. He turn'd their Waters into Blood;
Which the amazed Fishes slew.
30. Their Land abundant Frogs produc'd;
Which climb'd the Chambers of their Kings.
31. He spake, came Swarms of diverse Flies;
Dust, thro' their Land, to Lice up springs.
32. For Rain, he pour'd down Storms of Hail;
And flaming Fire their Land annoy'd.
33. Their fruitful Vines, and Fig-Trees, smote;
And, thro' their Coasts, their Trees destroy'd.
34. Locusts, and various Reptiles came,
At his Command; their Swarms abound.
35. Each green Herb, thro' the Land,they eat;
And naked left the fruitless Ground.
36. Then, by one fatal Mid-night Stroke,
Which, thro' each Town, and Village, flew,
He all their First-born sudden smote;
The Fiow'r of all their Strength he slew.
Fourth Part
37. With Gold and Silver Spoils, he brought,
Them, forth from Egypt's hated Ground;
None feeble, in their num'rous Tribes;
No, not so much as one was found.
38. Egypt rejoic'd, when they with-drew ;
For on them seized Isr'els Dread.
39. A cov'ring Cloud he spread, by Day;
And Fire, by Night, their Marches led.
40. They ask'd; he bro't sweet Quails' & they,
With Bread from Heav'n, were satisfy'd.
41. He clave the Rock; the Waters gush'd,
And Rivers in dry Land supply'd.
42. On's promise, made to Abraham,
Bound by his Holiness, he thought.
43. With Joy his People, his Elect,
With Songs of Triumph, forth he brought.
44. To them he gave the Heathen's Soil,
Ev'n promis'd Canaan's fertile Lands;
The People's Labours they enjoy'd,
All built, and planted, to their Hands.
45. That thus oblig'd, his Statutes they
Might carefully observe always;
And ne'er forget to keep his Laws:
Therefore let all Jehovah praise.
Give Thanks to God, call on his Name
O praise the Lord, call on his name
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 O praife the Lord, call on his name,
To people shew his facts.
2 Sing to him, sing psalms to him, talk
Ox all his wond'rous acts.
3 Let their hearts joy who seek the Lord,
Boast in his holy name.
4. The Lord seek, and his strength, his face
Seek ye always the same.
5 Remember ye what he hath done,
Each admirable deed,
His wonders and his judgments which
Did from his mouth prcceed.
6 O ye his servant Abraham's seed
Ye Jacob's chosen sons.
7 He is the Lord our God, through all
The earth hie judgments run.
8 His covenant for evermore,
And his commanded word
A thousand generations to
He doth in mind record.
9 The covenant which he before
Did unto Abr'ham make:
And unto Isaac afterward
Likewise an oath did take/
10 And unto Jacob for a law
He did confirm it fast;
To Ifr'el for a covenant
That evermore should last.
11 I'll surely give thee Canaan's land
To be thy lot, he said.
12 When they but few, yea very few,
And strangers in it stray'd.
13 When they did from one nation
Another pass unto:
When as they from one kingdom did
To other people go.
14 He suffer'd mone to do them wrong,
Yea kings for them check'd he.
15 Touch ye not mine anointed ones,
My prophets harm not ye.
16 He call'd for famine on the land,
He brake the staff of bread.
17 Before them sent one whom they sold
Joseph a slave was made.
18 Whose feet they did with fetters hurt,
He did in irons lie,
19 Until the time his word did come*,
The Lord's word did him try.
20 The king, the peoples ruler sent,
Loos'd him and let him go.
2i He made him lord of all his house,
Of all's wealth ruler too.
22 That he his noble peers might bind
According to his will;
And that into his senators
He wisdom might instil.
23 Then also into Egypt land
His father Ifra'l came:
And Jacob was a sojourner
Within the land of Ham.
24 He much increas'd his folk, and made
Them than their foes more strong.
25 Their heart he turn'd his folk to hate,
To do his servants wrong.
[3]
26 His servant Moses he did send,
And Aaron whom he chose.
27 His signs and wonders them among
They in Ham's land disclose.
28 He darkness sent, and made it dark,
Nor did they 's word gainsay.
29 He turn'd their waters into blood,
And he their fish did slay.
30 Great store of frogs their land bro't forth
In chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, there came flies swarms, and lice
In all their coast he brings.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and in
Their land fires flame did make.
33 Their vines and fig-trees smote and thro'
Their coast the trees he brake.
34 He spake, and then the locusts forth
And caterpillars came,
In multitudes of armies, so
That none could number them.
35 All their land's herbs they eat, and fruit
Did of their ground devour.
36 All first-born in their land he smote,
The chief of all their pow'r.
[4]
37 He also thence did bring them forth
With silver and with gold
And there was not among their tribes
A feeble person told,
38 At their out-going Egypt joy'd,
For on them fell their dread:
39 A cloud for cov'ring, and a fire
To light the night he spread.
46 They ask'd, and he brought quails, with bread
He fill'd them from the sky.
41 He clave the rock, and water flow'd,
Floods ran in places dry.
42 For on his holy promise he,
And servant Abram thought
43 With joy his people and with songs
Forth he his chosen brought.
44 He of the heathen people did
The land on them bestow;
The labour of the people they
Inherited also.
45 To this great end, that so they might
His statutes keep always,
And that they might his laws observe:
Therefore Jehovah praise.
O praise the Lord, call on his name
O render Thanks and bless the LORD
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 O render Thanks and bless the LORD,
Invoke his ever sacred Name;
Acquaint the Nations with his Deeds,
His great and matchless Deeds proclaim:
His wond'rous Works in Hymns rehearse,
Make them the Subject of your Verse.
2 Rejoice in his Almighty Name,
Which only ought to be ador'd;
And let their Hearts o'erflow with Joy,
Who seek with humble Fear the LORD:
Seek ye the LORD, his Strength implore,
Seek ye his Face for evermore.
3 The Wonders that his Hands have wrought,
Keep ever thankfully in Mind;
With all the Statutes of his Mouth,
And Laws he hath to us assign'd:
His Works are glorious to the View,
His Judgments all are just and true.
4 Know ye, his Servant Abra'm's Seed,
And likewise Jacob's chosen Race;
He's still our GOD, and through the Earth,
His righteous Judgments will take Place:
His Word, for Thousand Ages past,
Hath stood, and shall for ever last.
5 His Cov'nant first to Abra'am sign'd,
By Oath to Isaac made secure;
To Jacob and his Heirs, confirm'd,
A Law for ever to endure:
A Testament to Israel made,
Is on a firm Foundation laid.
6 That Canaan's Land should be their Lot,
When yet but few of them there were:
But few in Number, and those few
Forlorn and helpless Strangers there:
From Realm to Realm secure they mov'd,
Whilst Kings were for their Sakes reprov'd.
7 "These mine Anointed are (said he)
"Let none my chosen Servants wrong;
"Nor treat the poorest Prophet ill,
"That doth to me, his GOD, belong."
AT last he made their Corn to fail,
And through the Land a Dearth prevail.
8 But Joseph he had sent before,
Who for a Slave was sold and bound;
His Feet, secur'd within the Stocks,
Did galling Irons pierce and wound:
'Till GOD's appointed Time and Word,
Had try'd him, and did Help afford.
9 The King then sent, and set him free,
And Lord of all his Houshold made;
His Wealth he gave to him in Charge,
Before him all his Counsels laid.
That he might teach his Statesmen Skill,
And tell the Princes of his Will.
Part II
10 To Egypt then, invited Guests,
With Speed, half famish'd Israel came;
And Jacob, though a Stranger, held
By royal Grant the Land of Ham:
There GOD his People multiply'd,
'Till they with their Oppressors vy'd
11 Their vast Increase th'Egyptian's Hearts,
With Jealousy and Anger fir'd;
'Till they his Servants to destroy,
With secret Treachery conspir'd:
Their Hearts against his People turn'd,
Their Breasts with inward Envy burn'd.
12 His Servant Moses then he sent,
He sent his chosen Aaron too;
Empow'r'd with Signs and Miracles,
To prove their sacred Mission true:
These shew'd the Wonders of his Hand,
And spread their Tokens through the Land.
13 He call'd for Darkness, and it came,
Yet would they not his Voice obey;
He turn'd their Waters into Blood,
And did their Fish in Numbers slay:
A noisome Pest of Frogs was bred,
And sent to croak at Pharaoh's Bed.
14 He gave the Sign, and Swarms of Flies,
Came from above in cloudy Hosts;
While Earth's enlivin'd Dust below,
Bred hateful Lice through all their Coasts:
Hailstones he did for Rain command,
And Flames of Fire, to plague the Land.
33 He smote their Fig Trees and their Vines,
Their lofty Forst Trees destroy'd;
Locusts and Caterpillars join'd;
In dreadful Swarms, the Land annoy'd:
Their Numbers cover'd all the Ground,
And eat the Fruit and Herbage round.
16 He, in one Night their First-born smote,
The Chief of all their Pride he slew;
But from their Land, enrich'd with Spoils,
In Health and Strength his Servants drew:
Egypt was glad when they remov'd,
Who had to them so fatal prov'd.
17 GOD spread a Cloud to cover them,
A Fire at Night was their sure Guide;
He gave them Quails at their Desire,
And them with heav'nly Bread supply'd:
He smote the Rock, and from the Wound,
The gushing Waters flow'd around.
18 For he his Promise kept in Mind,
And brought his People forth with Joy;
Gave them the Fruit of others Toil,
And did their Heathen Foes destroy:
That they his Statutes may obey,
And to his Laws due Rev'rence pay. Topics: Thanksgivings For Delerances and Wonders, General Used With Tune: [O render Thanks, and bless the Lord]

Sing Praise to God, Our Highest Good
Sing to the Lord; invoke his sacred name
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord; invoke his sacred name;
His glorious acts to all the earth proclaim;
2 Our dread Jehovah claims your noblest lays;
Loud let th' exulting tribes chant forth his praise.
3 Let his great name employ the grateful voice;
Let all, that love his name, sincere rejoice:
4 With firmest heart on his blest pow'r rely;
His presence ask--'twill ev'ry want supply.
5 Reflect the works of his almighty hand,
Th' observance that his sacred laws command.
6 To you, blest Abr'ham's race, I speak alone,
To you whom he hath deign'd to call his own.
7 He is our king, e'en he th' almighty God;
Who to th' astonish'd earth his truth hath shew'd,
8 Firm to his covenant he 'as long remain'd,
Which for a thousand ages he ordain'd;
9 Which he with Abr'ham made in days of yore,
To which with Isaac solemnly he swore,
10 Which Jacob heard confirm'd, and which shall bless,
Inviolate, to endless time, his race.
11 "To thee (he said) rich Canaan's lands I'll give,
"Thou in her fertile plains shalt ever live:"
12 E'en then, when yet they were but strangers there,
And weak their pow'r, and few their numbers were;
13 When they, as heav'n ordain'd, poor wand'rers, rov'd
From place to place, and had no fix'd abode.
14 Yet them in peace his goodness still maintain'd;
The cruel rage of threat'ning kings restrain'd,
15 And bad them not those favour'd tribes oppress,
Whom with peculiar love he chose to bless.
16 When a dire famine sore distrest the land,
And scarce th' enfeebled nations life sustain'd,
17 Fair Rachel's favour'd son he sent, a slave,
To those glad lands, Nile's fertile waters lave.
18 There long in prison, long in chains, he lay,
'Til heav'n it's mercy to him did display,
19 Dreams to interpret, gave the wond'rous pow'r,
And taught, the scheme of providence t' explore.
20 This heard the king; he set the pris'ner free,
'Twas Egypt's monarch gave him liberty.
21 He made a bond-slave ruler o'er his land;
O'er all the palace his was the command;
22 That next in honour to his prince he stood,
While all the nobles with obeisance bow'd.
23 'Twas then that Israel into Egypt came,
And sojourn'd in the fruitful plains of Ham:
24 Our God his people 'bove the natives blest;
That soon in pow'r, in numbers, they increas'd.
25 This saw th' Egyptian monarch with regret,
And strait fell on the favour'd tribes his hate:
26 Long suffer'd they, when their almighty friend
Did Humble Moses to their succour send.
27 Aaron and he by their dread wonders prove,
That they had their commission from above.
28 Nature obeys, at once, their great command;
A gloomy darkness shrouds th' astonish'd land;
29 Their streams polluted, flow with fetid gore,
And all their fish lie dead upon the shore:
30 Not now the soil it's glad'ning produce yields,
But frogs infest their palaces and fields.
31 In swarms unnumber'd rang'd the noisome flies,
And all their coasts are cover'd o'er with lice.
32 The kindly rains enrich their glebe no more,
But storms of hail and flame around them pour.
33 Their vines no more the chearful juice supply,
And trees, fruits, flow'rs, in one wild ruin lie.
34 In flights the locusts and the beetles come,
And, what the hail hath left them, they consume;
So that not food for sustenance remains,
But one wild desolation fills the plains.
36 Nay; more t' enhance their fatal miseries,
The favour'd son, the dear-lov'd first born, dies.
37 At last the humbled tyrant lets us go;
A joy sincere his ruin'd people shew;
While we depart, of countless wealth possest,
With nervous strength, with sprightly vigour, blest.
39 By a dun cloud he leads us in the day;
By night a glitt'ring shine directs our way:
40 We ask, and strait we're fed with bread from heav'n;
We ask, and birds of richest taste are giv'n.
41 The rock he smote, and strait the waters came,
Free as a riv'let, gush'd the slaking stream.
42 For he his faithful Abr'ham not forgot,
Nor wou'd he bring his promises to nought;
43 His gracious goodness pointed them the road;
With joy they follow'd their directing God.
44 The heathen's lands he gave them to possess;
And all the produce of their toils in peace;
45 That they his holy statutes might obey,
And never from his dread commandments stray.
