Psalm 145
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 256 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145 First Line: My God, my King, thy various praise Lyrics:
My God, my King, thy various praise
Shall fill the remnant of my days;
Thy grace employ my humble tongue
Till death and glory raise the song.
The wings of every hour shall bear
Some thankful tribute to thine ear;
And every setting sun shall see
New works of duty done for thee.
Thy truth and justice I'll proclaim;
Thy bounty flows an endless stream;
Thy mercy swift, thine anger slow,
But dreadful to the stubborn foe.
Thy works with sovereign glory shine,
And speak thy majesty divine;
Let Britain round her shores proclaim
The sound and honor of thy name.
Let distant times and nations raise
The long succession of thy praise,
And unborn ages make my song
The joy and labor of their tongue.
But who can speak thy wondrous deeds?
Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds?
Vast and unsearchable thy ways,
Vast and immortal be thy praise!

Psalm 145 Part 3
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 214 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145:17-21 First Line: Let every tongue thy goodness speak Lyrics:
Let every tongue thy goodness speak,
Thou sovereign Lord of all;
Thy strength'ning hands uphold the weak,
And raise the poor that fall.
When sorrow bows the spirit down,
Or virtue lies distressed
Beneath some proud oppressor's frown,
Thou giv'st the mourners rest.
The Lord supports our tott'ring days,
And guides our giddy youth;
Holy and just are all his ways,
And all his words are truth.
He knows the pains his servants feel,
He hears his children cry,
And their best wishes to fulfil,
His grace is ever nigh.
His mercy never shall remove
From men of heart sincere;
He saves the souls whose humble love
Is joined with holy fear.
[His stubborn foes his sword shall slay,
And pierce their hearts with pain
But none that serve the Lord shall say,
"They sought his aid in vain."]
[My lips shall dwell upon his praise,
And spread his fame abroad;
Let all the sons of Adam raise
The honors of their God.]

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 234 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145:7-21 First Line: Sweet is the memory of thy grace Lyrics:
Sweet is the memory of thy grace,
My God, my heav'nly King;
Let age to age thy righteousness
In sounds of glory sing.
God reigns on high, but not confines
His goodness to the skies;
Through the whole earth his bounty shines,
And every want supplies.
With longing eyes thy creatures wait
On thee for daily food;
Thy lib'ral hand provides their meat,
And fills their mouths with good.
How kind are thy compassions, Lord!
How slow thine anger moves!
But soon he sends his pard'ning word
To cheer the souls he loves.
Creatures with all their endless race
Thy power and praise proclaim;
But saints that taste thy richer grace
Delight to bless thy name.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145 Lyrics: 1 I will exalt my God and King,
and I will ever praise your name.
I will extol you every day
and evermore your praise proclaim.
You, LORD, are greatly to be praised;
your greatness is beyond all thought.
From age to age your people tell
the mighty wonders you have wrought.
2 On your most glorious majesty
and on your deeds my mind will dwell.
Your deeds will fill the world with awe,
and all your greatness I will tell.
Your matchless goodness and your grace
your people will commemorate;
and all your truth and righteousness
our joyful song will celebrate.
3 The LORD our God is rich in grace,
tender to us, compassionate.
His anger is most slow to rise;
his love and kindness are most great.
The LORD is good in all his ways;
his creatures know his constant care.
To all his works his love extends;
all creatures in his mercies share.
4 All you have made will praise you, LORD;
your mighty acts your saints will show,
till all the peoples on the earth
the splendor of your kingdom know.
Eternal is your kingdom, LORD,
forever strong and ever sure;
while generations rise and die,
your glorious reign will still endure.
5 The LORD is faithful to his word;
he will extend his gracious hand.
The LORD upholds the faltering feet
and makes the weak securely stand.
The eyes of all look up to you
for food and drink, which you supply;
your open hand is bountiful,
and every need you satisfy.
6 The LORD is just in all his ways;
in all his works the LORD is kind,
and all who call on him in truth
in him a present helper find.
He will fulfill the heart's desire
of those who fear him and obey.
The LORD will surely hear their cry,
will save them when to him they pray.
7 The LORD in grace preserves his saints,
redeeming those who love his name.
The wicked he will overthrow
and put his enemies to shame.
My mouth will sing the glorious praise
of God, whom earth and heaven adore.
Let every creature praise his name
forever and forevermore!

Psalm 145: O Lord, thou art my God and King
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145 First Line: O Lord, thou art my God and King Lyrics:
1O Lord, thou art my God and King;
Thee will I magnify and praise:
I will thee bless, and gladly sing
Unto thy holy name always.
2Each day I rise I will thee bless,
And praise thy name time without end.
3Much to be prais’d, and great God is;
His greatness none can comprehend.
4Race shall thy works praise unto race,
The mighty acts show done by thee.
5I will speak of the glorious grace,
And honour of thy majesty;
Thy wondrous works I will record.
6By men the might shall be extoll’d
Of all thy dreadful acts, O Lord:
And I thy greatness will unfold.
7They utter shall abundantly
The mem’ry of thy goodness great;
And shall sing praises cheerfully,
Whilst they thy righteousness relate.
8The Lord our God is gracious,
Compassionate is he also;
In mercy he is plenteous,
But unto wrath and anger slow.
9Good unto all men is the Lord:
O’er all his works his mercy is.
10Thy works all praise to thee afford:
Thy saints, O Lord, thy name shall bless.
11The glory of thy kingdom show
Shall they, and of thy power tell:
12That so men’s sons his deeds may know,
His kingdom’s grace that doth excel.
13Thy kingdom hath none end at all,
It doth through ages all remain.
14The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
The cast-down raiseth up again.
15The eyes of all things, Lord, attend,
And on thee wait that here do live,
And thou, in season due, dost send
Sufficient food them to relieve.
16Yea, thou thine hand dost open wide,
And ev’ry thing dost satisfy
That lives, and doth on earth abide,
Of thy great liberality.
17The Lord is just in his ways all,
And holy in his works each one.
18He’s near to all that on him call,
Who call in truth on him alone.
19God will the just desire fulfil
Of such as do him fear and dread:
Their cry regard, and hear he will,
And save them in the time of need.
20The Lord preserves all, more and less,
That bear to him a loving heart:
But workers all of wickedness
Destroy will he, and clean subvert.
21Therefore my mouth and lips I’ll frame
To speak the praises of the Lord:
To magnify his holy name
For ever let all flesh accord.

no sudden rending of the veil of clay,

but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast thou not bid me love thee, God and King --
all, all thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind?
I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling:
oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find!

teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh:
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.

But oh, the shepherd guards His lonely sheep;
And through the gloom, He'll lead me home,

Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.

shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.

And trembling faith is turned to fear,

Content to suffer, while we know,
Living and dying, Thou art near.

When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.

should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail;

should flesh and blood refine,

in Man for man the foe,
the double agony in Man
for man should undergo;
6 And in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.

Retain or release me;
All I commit to Thy fatherly hand.
