Psalm 147

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 280 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 147:7-9 First Line: With songs and honors sounding loud Lyrics: With songs and honors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heav'ns he spreads his cloud, And waters veil the sky. He sends his showers of blessing down To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. He gives the grazing ox his meat, He hears the raven's cry; But man, who tastes his finest wheat, Should raise his honors high. His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. His hoary frost, his fleecy snow, Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound. When from the dreadful stores on high He pours the rattling hail, The wretch that dares this God defy Shall find his courage fail. He sends his word, and melts the snow, The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return. The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey his mighty word: With songs and honors sounding loud, Praise ye the sovereign Lord.

Psalm 147 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 147 First Line: Praise ye the Lord; 'tis good to raise Lyrics: Praise ye the Lord; 'tis good to raise Our hearts and voices in his praise; His nature and his works invite To make this duty our delight. The Lord builds up Jerusalem, And gathers nations to his name; His mercy melts the stubborn soul, And makes the broken spirit whole. He formed the stars, those heav'nly flames; He counts their numbers, calls their names; His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound, A deep where all our thoughts are drowned. Great is our Lord, and great his might; And all his glories infinite: He crowns the meek, rewards the just, And treads the wicked to the dust. Sing to the Lord, exalt him high, Who spreads his clouds all round the sky; There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain. He makes the grass the hills adorn, And clothes the smiling fields with corn; The beasts with food his hands supply, And the young ravens when they cry. What is the creature's skill or force, The sprightly man, the warlike horse, The nimble wit, the active limb? All are too mean delights for him. But saints are lovely in his sight, He views his children with delight; He sees their hope, he knows their fear, And looks, and loves his image there.

Psalm 147 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 39 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 147 First Line: O Britain, praise thy mighty God Lyrics: O Britain, praise thy mighty God, And make his honors known abroad, He bid the ocean round thee flow; Not bars of brass could guard thee so. 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. 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. 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? He bids the southern breezes blow; The ice dissolves, the waters flow: But he hath nobler works and ways To call the Britons to his praise. To all the isle his laws are shown, His gospel through the nation known; He hath not thus revealed his word To every land: praise ye the Lord.

O do ye praise the Lord.

For pleasant, good, and comely 'tis to praise his holy Name. 2 His holy City God will build, tho' levell'd with the Ground: Bring back his People, tho' dispers'd thro' all the Nations round. 3,4 He kindly heals the broken Hearts, and all their Wounds does close; He tells the Number of the Stars, their sev'ral Names he knows. 5,6 Great is the Lord, and great his Pow'r, his Wisdom has no Bound; The meek he raises, and throws down the Wicked to the Ground. 7 To God, the Lord, a Hymn of Praise with grateful Voices sing; To Songs of Triumph tune the Harp, and strike each warbling String. 8 He covers Heav'n with Clouds and thence refreshing Rain bestows: Thro' him, on Mountain-tops, the Grass with wond'rous Plenty grows. 9 He, savage Beasts that loosely range, with timely Food supplies; He feeds the Ravens tender Brood, and stops their hungry Cries. 10 He values not the warlike Steed, but does his Strength disdain; The nimble Foot that swiftly runs, no Prize from him can gain. 11 But he, to him that fears his Name, his tender Love extends; To him that on his boundless Grace with stedfast Hope depends. 12,13 Let Sion and Jerusalem to God their Praise address; Who fenc'd their Gates with massy Bars, and does their Children bless. 14,15 Thro' all their Borders he gives Peace, with finest Wheat they're fed; He speaks the Word, and what he wills is done as soon as said. 16 Large Flakes of Snow, like fleecy wool, descend at this Command; And hoary Frost, like Ashes spread, is scatter'd o'er the land. 17 When join'd to these, he does his Hail in little Morsels break, Who can against his piercing Cold secure Defences make? 18 He sends his word, which melts the ice; he makes his Wind to blow, And soon the Streams, congeal'd before, in plenteous Currents flow. 19 By him his Statutes and Decrees to Jacob's Sons were shown; And still to Isr'el's chosen Seed his righteous Laws are known. 20 No other Nation this can boast, nor did he e'er afford To Heathen Lands his Oracles, And Knowledge of his Word.
