CXIII. Ye Saints and Servants of the LORD

1 Ye Saints and Servants of the LORD,
The Triumphs of his Name record;
His sacred Name for ever bless;
Where e'er the circling Sun displays
His rising Beams, or setting Rays,
Due Praise to his great Name address.

2 GOD through the World extends his Sway,
The Regions of eternal Day
But Shadows of his Glory are:
With him, whose Majesty excells,
Who made the Heav'n, in which he dwells,
Let no created Pow'r compare.

3 Though 'tis beneath his State to view,
In highest Heav'n what Angels do,
Yet he to Earth vouchsafes his Care:
He takes the Needy from his Cell,
Advancing him in Courts to dwell,
Companion to the Greatest there.

4 When childless Families despair,
He sends the Blessing of an Heir,
To rescue their expiring Name:
Makes her, that barren was, to bear,
And joyfully her Fruit to rear.
Oh then extol his matchless Fame!
