| Up to the Lord, who reigns on high, And views the nations from afar, Let everlasting praises fly, And tell how large his bounties are. He overrules all mortal things, And manages our mean affairs; On humble souls the King of kings Bestows his counsels and his cares. Our sorrows and our tears we pour Into the bosom of our God; He hears us in the mournful hour, And helps to bear the heavy load. In vain might lofty princes try Such condescension to perform; For worms were never rais'd so high Above their meanest fellow-worm. O could our thankful hearts devise A tribute equal to thy grace, To the third heav'n our songs should rise, And teach the golden harps thy praise. | Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #II.46 (1806) The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #27 (1835) Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books: I. collected from the scriptures, II. composed on divine subjects, III. prepared for the Lord's Supper #II.XLVI (1793) The Psalms of David: imitated in the language of the New Testament, and applied to the Christian state and worship (27th ed.) #II.XLVI (1766) A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy: for the use of Evangelical Lutheran Churches; to which are added prayers for families and individuals #58 (1814) |
