Thou hear'st thy children's cry;
And their best wishes to fulfill,
Thy grace is ever nigh.

From men of heart sincere;
Thou sav'st the souls whose humble love
Is joined with holy fear.

And spread thy fame abroad;

And none shall find his promise vain.

He sends the labouring conscience peace,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.

The Lord supports the sinking mind;
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless.

But turns the wicked down to hell;
Thy God, O Zion, ever reigns;
Praise him in everlasting strains. Scripture: Psalm 146 Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.329 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Goodness of God; God great and good; God goodness and mercy; God goodness and truth 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.]

With songs of sacred praise,
For he is good, immensely good,
And kind are all his ways.
2 All nature owns his guardian care,
In him we live and move;
But nobler benefits declare
The wonders of his love.
3 He gave his son, his only son,
To ransom rebel worms;
'Tis here he makes his goodness known
In it's divinest forms.
4 To this dear refuge, Lord, we come,
'Tis here our hope relies;
A save defence, a peaceful home,
When storms of trouble rise.
5 Thine eye beholds, with kind regard,
The souls who trust in thee;
Their humble Hope thou wilt reward,
With bliss divinely free.
5 Great God, to thy almighty love,
What honors shall we raise?
Not all the raptur'd songs above
Can render equal praise. Scripture: Nahum 1:7 Languages: English
