1 MY Y soul, inspir'd with sacred love, And still Thy grateful thanks express. 2 'Tis God that all thy sins forgives, And after sickness makes thee sound; By grace preserv'd, with mercy crown'd. 4 GOD will not always harshly chide, As far as 'tis from East to West, 7 The LORD, the universal King, In heav'n has fix'd His awful throne; To Him, ye angels, praises sing, In whose great strength His pow'r is shown.. 8 Ye that His just commands obey, And hear and do His sacred will; Ye hosts of His, this tribute pay,' Who still what he ordains fulfil. 9 Let ev'ry creature jointly bless The mighty LORD; and thou, my heart, PSALM 103. III. Metre. (s. M.) 1 MY soul, repeat His praise, Whose anger is so slow to rise, 2 High as the heav'ns are rais'd So far the riches of His grace 1 3 The pity of the LORD, To those who fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 4 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flow'r: If one sharp blast sweeps o'er the field, 5 But Thy compassions, LORD, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find An act of praise, celebrating the glory, wisdom, goodness, and power of JEHOVAH, in the manifold works of creation. 1 MY soul, praise the LORD, His honour pro claim; O LORD our great Gop, how glorious Thy namé : Thy beams light diffusing, no eye can behold, The clouds are Thy chariot, in glory untold. 2 The heav'ns and earth, the waters and air, Were form'd by Thy hand, sustain'd by Thy care, The angelic spirits Thy goodness record, They all wait Thy order, exist by Thy word. 3 The fowls of the air, the beasts of the field, The earth Thou hast form'd its produce to yield; The trees Thou hast planted, Thy bounty display, While birds chaunt Thy praises, and join in the lay. 4 The sun, moon, and stars, by day and by night, The heav'ns adorn'd with varying light; The rivers and oceans, the ships on the sea, Acknowledge Thy goodness, and wait upon Thee. 5 Man form'd for Thy praise, refresh'd from above, Returns to his work and labours of love; Thy glory for ever, O LORD, shall endure, secure. 6 I'll sing to the LORD as long as I live, PSALM 104. II. Metre. (L.M.) 1 BLESS GOD, my soul: Thou, LORD, alone With honour Thou art crown'd, Thy throne 2 With light Thou dost Thyself enrobe," Heav'n's curtains stretch beyond the globe, 3 In praising GOD while He prolongs My breath, I will that breath employ; And praise my God with holy joy. 4 His glorious majesty adore; My soul, praise Thou His holy name; PSALM 105. 04 (S.M.) An exhortation to praise JEHOVAH for his works of mercy and power, his covenant made with Abraham, the deliverance of Israel from Egypt, and 91 their establishment in the land of promise, the type of the heavenly Canaan. 1 GIVE thanks unto the LORD, Invoke His sacred name; * In psalms of praise His grace record, His mighty deeds proclaim. 2 Glory and make your boast In His great name alone; Resound, with heav'ns exalted host, 3 Praise Him with joyful voice, Unchang'd by time or space; 5 For Israel God provides, Guards with His mighty arm; 6 The cloud protects by day, 7 So shall the church of God, PSALM 105. II. Metre. (C. M.) 10 RENDER thanks, and bless the Lord, Invoke His sacred name; Acquaint the nations with His deeds, 2 Sing to His praise in lofty hymns, discourse, |
