Give Thanks to GOD: He reigns above

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107a (1766) Topics: Isreal punished and pardoned; Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan; Isreal Travels in the Wilderness Lyrics: 1 Give Thanks to GOD; He reigns above, Kind are his Thoughts, his Name is Love; His Mercy Ages past have known, And Ages long to come shall own. 2 Let the Redeemed of the Lord The Wonders of his Grace record; Isr'el, the Nation whom he chose, And rescu'd from their mighty Foes. 3 [When GOD's Almighty Arm had broke Their Fetters and th' Egyptian Yoke, They trac'd the Desart, wand'ring round A wild and solitary Ground! 4 There they could find no leading Road, Nor City for a fix'd Abode; Nor Food nor Fountain to asswage Their burning Thirst or Hunger's Rage.] 5 In their Distress to GOD they cry'd; GOD was their Saviour and their Guide; He led their March far wand'ring round; 'Twas the right Path to Canaan's Ground. 6 Thus when our first Release we gain From Sin's old Yoke, and Satan's Chain, We have this desert World to pass, A dangerous and a tiresome Place. 7 He feeds and clothes us all the Way, He guides our Footsteps, lest we stray; He guards us with a pow'rful Hand, And brings us to the heav'nly Land. 8 O let the Saints with joy record The Truth and Goodness of the Lord! How great his Works! how kind his Ways! Let ev'ry Tongue pronounce his Praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

He hears their Groans, prolongs their Breath, And saves them from approaching Death. 5 No Med'cines could effect the Cure So quick, so easy, or so sure; The deadly Sentence GOD repeals, He sends his sov'reign Word and heals. 6 O may the Sons of Men record The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful Off'rings prove How they adore their Maker's Love. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

And those that see thy wond'rous Ways, Thy wond'rous Love record. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

When God provok'd with daring Crimes

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107f (1766) Topics: Isreal punished and pardoned; Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan; Isreal Travels in the Wilderness Lyrics: 1 When God provok'd with daring Crimes, Scourges the Madness of the Times, He turns their Fields to barren Sand, And dries the Rivers from the Land. 2 His Word can raise the Springs again, And make the wither'd Mountains green, Send show'ry Blessings from the Skies, And Harvests in the Desarts rise. 3 [Where nothing dwelt but Beasts of Prey, Or Men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' Opprest and Poor repair, And builds them Towns and Cities there. 4 They sow the Fields, and Trees they plant, Whose yearly Fruit supplies their Want; Their Race grows up from fruitful Stocks, Their Wealth increases with their Flocks. 5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin, He lets the heathen Nations in; A savage Crew invades their Lands, Their Princes die by barb'rous Hands. 6 Their captive Sons expos'd to Scorn, Wander unpity'd and forlorn; The Country lies unfenc'd, untill'd, And Desolation spreads the Field. 7 Yet if the humbled Nation mourns, Again his dreadful Hand he turns; Again he makes their Cities thrive, And bids the dying Churches live.] 8 The Righteous, with a joyful Sense, Admire the Works of Providence; And Tongues of Atheists shall no more Blaspheme the GOD that Saints adore. 9 How few with pious Care record These wond'rous Dealings of the Lord; But wise Observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just, and kind. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English
