Psalm 65 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65:5-13 First Line: The God of our salvation hears Lyrics: The God of our salvation hears The groans of Zion mixed with tears; Yet when he comes with kind designs, Through all the way his terror shines. On him the race of man depends, Far as the earth's remotest ends, Where the Creator's name is known By nature's feeble light alone. Sailors, that travel o'er the flood, Address their frighted souls to God, When tempests rage and billows roar At dreadful distance from the shore. He bids the noisy tempests cease; He calms the raging crowd to peace, When a tumultuous nation raves Wild as the winds, and loud as waves. Whole kingdoms, shaken by the storm, He settles in a peaceful form; Mountains, established by his hand, Firm on their old foundations stand. Behold his ensigns sweep the sky, New comets blaze, and lightnings fly; The heathen lands, with swift surprise, From the bright horrors turn their eyes. At his command the morning ray Smiles in the east, and leads the day; He guides the sun's declining wheels Over the tops of western hills. Seasons and times obey his voice; The ev'ning and the morn rejoice To see the earth made soft with showers, Laden with fruit, and dressed in flowers. 'Tis from his wat'ry stores on high He gives the thirsty ground supply; He walks upon the clouds, and thence Doth his enriching drops dispense. The desert grows a fruitful field, Abundant food the valleys yield; The valleys shout with cheerful voice, And neighb'ring hills repeat their joys. The pastures smile in green array; There lambs and larger cattle play; The larger cattle and the lamb Each in his language speaks thy name. Thy works pronounce thy power divine; O'er every field thy glories shine; Through every month thy gifts appear; Great God, thy goodness crowns the year!

For thee, O God, our constant Praise

Whilst we, at humble Distance, taste The vast Delights thy Temple gives. 5 By wond'rous Acts, O God most Just, Have we thy gracious Answer found: In Thee remotest Nations trust, And those whom stormy Waves surround. 6,7 God, by His Strength, sets fast the Hills, And does His matchless Pow'r engage; With which the Sea's loud Waves He stills, And angry Crouds tumultuous Rage. Part II 8 Thou Lord, dost barb'rous Lands dismay, When they thy dreadful Tokens view: With Joy they see the Night and Day Each others Track, by Turns, pursue. 9 From out thy unexhausted Store Thy Rain relieves the thirsty Ground; Makes Lands, that barren were before, With Corn and useful Fruits abound. 10 On rising Ridges down it pours, And ev'ry furrow'd Valley fills: Thou mak'st them soft with gentle show'rs, In which a blest Increase distils. 11 Thy Goodness does the circling year With fresh Returns of Plenty crown; And where thy glorious Paths appear, Thy fruitful Clouds drop Fatness down. 12 They drop on barren Forests, chang'd By them to Pastures fresh and green: The Hills about in Order rang'd, In beauteous Robes of Joy are seen. 13 Large Flocks with fleecy Wool adorn The chearful Downs; the Vallies bring A plenteous Crop of full-ear'd Corn, And seem, for Joy, to shout and sing.
