Give to our GOD immortal Praise!

Mercy and Truth are all his Ways; Wonders of Grace to God belong, Repeat his Mercies in your Song. 2 Give to the Lord of Lords Renown, The King of Kings with Glory crown; His Mercies ever shall endure, When Lords and Kings are known no more. 3 He built the Earth, he spread the Sky, And fix'd the starry Lights on high: Wonders of Grace to God belong, Repeat his Mercies in your Song. 4 He fills the Sun with Morning Light, He bids the Moon direct the Night: His Mercies ever shall endure, When Suns and Moons shall shine no more. 5 The Jews he freed from Pharaoh's Hand, And brought them to the promis'd Land: Wonders of Grace to God belong, Repeat his Mercies in your Song. 6 He saw the Gentiles dead in Sin, And felt his Pity work within: His Mercies ever shall endure, When Death and Sin shall reign no more. 7 He sent his Son with Pow'r to save From Guilt and Darkness, and the Grave; Wonders of Grace to GOD belong, Repeat his Mercies in your Song. 8 Through this vain World he guides our Feet, And leads us to his heav'nly Seat: His Mercies ever shall endure, When this vain World shall be no more.

"(May thy own Children say) "The Great, the Wise, the dreadful GOD! How holy is his Way !" 2 I'll meditate his Works of old; The King that reigns above, I'll hear his ancient Wonders told, And learn to trust his Love. 3 Long did the House of Joseph lie With Egypt's Yoke opprest; Long he delay'd to hear their Cry, Nor gave his People Rest. 4 The Sons of good old Jacob seem'd Abandon'd to their Foes; But his Almighty Arm redeem'd The Nation that he chose. 5 Isr'el, his People, and his Sheep, Must follow where he calls; He bid them venture through the Deep, And made the Waves their Walls. 5 The Waters saw Thee, mighty GOD, The Waters saw Thee come; Backward they fled, and frighted stood, To make thine Armies Room. 7 Strange was thy Journey through the Sea, Thy footsteps, Lord, unknown; Terrors attend the wond'rous Way That brings thy Mercies down. 8 [Thy Voice, with Terror in the Sound, Through Clouds and Darkness broke; All Heav'n in Lightning shone around, And Earth with Thunder shook. 9 Thine Arrows through the Skies were hurl'd; How glorious is the Lord! Surprize and Trembling seiz'd the World, And his own Saints ador'd. 10 He gave them Water from the Rock; And safe, by Moses' Hand, Through a dry Desert led his Flock Home to the promis'd Land.] Scripture: Psalm 77 Languages: English

Puase II. 15 Thus were the Tribes from Bondage brought, And left the hated Ground; Each some Egyptian Spoils had got, And not one feeble found. 16 The Lord himself chose out their Way, And mark'd their Journies right; Gave them a leading Cloud by Day, A fiery Guide by Night. 17 They thirst; and Waters from the Rock In rich Abundance flow, And following still the Course they took, Ran all the Desart through. 18 O wond'rous Stream! O blessed Type Of ever-flowing Grace! So Christ our Rock maintains our Life Through all this Wilderness. 19 Thus guarded by th' Almighty Hand, The chosen Tribes possest Canaan, the rich, the promis'd Land, And there enjoy'd their Rest. 20 Then let the World forbear its Rage, The Church renounce her Fear; Isr'el must live through ev'ry Age, And be th' Almighty's Care.

Miracles attending Israel's Journey

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #207a (1740) Topics: Isreal Travels in the Wilderness First Line: When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand, Left the proud Tyrant, and his Land, The Tribes with chearful Homage own Their King, and Judah was his Throne. 2 Across the Deep their Journey lay; The Deep divides to make them Way; Jordan beheld their March, and fled With backward Current to his Head. 3 The Mountains shook like frighted Sheep, Like Lambs the little Hillocks leap! Not Sinai on her base could stand, Conscious of sov'reign Pow'r at Hand. 4 What Pow'r could make the Deep divide? Make Jordan backward roll his Tide? Why did ye leap, ye little Hills? And whence the Fright that Sinai feels? 5 Let ev'ry Mountain, ev'ry Flood, Retire and know th' approaching GOD, The King of Isr'el: see him here: Tremble thou Earth, adore and fear. 6 He thunders, and all Nature mourns; The Rock to standing Pools he turns; Flints spring with Fountains at his Word, And Fires and Seas confess the Lord.
