P107b. From Age to Age exalt his Name

1 From Age to Age exalt his Name,
GOD and his Grace are still the same;
He fills the hungry Soul with Food,
And feeds the Poor with ev'ry Good.

2 But if their Hearts rebel and rise
Against the GOD that rules the Skies,
If they reject his heav'nly Word,
And slight the Counsels of the Lord;

3 He'll bring their Spirits to the Ground,
And no Deliv'rer shall be found;
Laden with Grief they waste their Breath
In Darkness and the Shades of Death.

4 Then to the Lord they raise their Cries,
He makes the dawning Light arise,
And scatters all that dismal Shade
That hung so heavy round their Head.

5 He cuts the Bars of Brass in two,
And lets the smiling Pris'ners through,
Takes off the Load of Guilt and Grief,
And gives the lab'ring Soul Relief.

6 O may the Sons of Men record
The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord;
How great his Works! how kind his Ways!
Let ev'ry Tongue pronounce his Praise.
