Pause. 5 Sing to the Lord, exalt him high, Who spreads his clouds around the sky; There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain. 6 He makes the grass the hills adorn, And clothes the smiling fields with corn; The beasts with food his hands supply, And feeds the ravens when they cry. 7 What is the creature's skill or force? The vigorous man, the warlike horse, The sprightly wit, the active limb All are too mean delights for him. 8 But saints are lovely in his sight; He views his children with delight; He sees their hope, he knows their fear, And finds and loves his image there.

Psalm 36

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.84 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Atheism practical; Flattery and deceit complained of; Practical atheism; Wickedness of man; Grace and providence; Attributes of God; God his being, attributes, and providence; God His perfections; God mercy and truth; Mercies and truth of God; Perfections of God; Praise for providence and grace; Providence and grace; Providence and perfections of God First Line: While men grow bold in wicked ways Lyrics: While men grow bold in wicked ways, And yet a God they own, My heart within me often says, "Their thoughts believe there's none." Their thoughts and ways at once declare, Whate'er their lips profess, God hath no wrath for them to fear, Nor will they seek his grace. What strange self-flatt'ry blinds their eyes! But there's a hast'ning hour, When they shall see with sore surprise The terrors of thy power. Thy justice shall maintain its throne, Though mountains melt away; Thy judgments are a world unknown, A deep, unfathomed sea. Above the heav'ns' created rounds, Thy mercies, Lord, extend; Thy truth outlives the narrow bounds Where time and nature end. Safety to man thy goodness brings, Nor overlooks the beast; Beneath the shadow of thy wings Thy children choose to rest. [From thee, when creature-streams run low. And mortal comforts die, Perpetual springs of life shall flow, And raise our pleasures high. Though all created light decay, And death close up our eyes, Thy presence makes eternal day, Where clouds can never rise.] Scripture: Psalm 36:1-2 Languages: English

[He walks awhile concealed In a self-flatt'ring dream, Till his dark crimes at once revealed Expose his hateful name.] His heart is false and foul, His words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banished from his soul, And leaves no goodness there. He plots upon his bed New mischiefs to fulfil He sets his heart, and hand, and head, To practise all that's ill. But there's a dreadful God, Though men renounce his fear; His justice, hid behind the cloud, Shall one great day appear. His truth transcends the sky, In heav'n his mercies dwell; Deep as the sea his judgments lie, His anger burns to hell. How excellent his love, Whence all our safety springs! O never let my soul remove From underneath his wings. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7 Languages: English

The Lord builds up Jerusalem, And gathers nations to his name; His mercy melts the stubborn soul, And makes the broken spirit whole. He formed the stars, those heav'nly flames; He counts their numbers, calls their names; His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound, A deep where all our thoughts are drowned. Great is our Lord, and great his might; And all his glories infinite: He crowns the meek, rewards the just, And treads the wicked to the dust. Sing to the Lord, exalt him high, Who spreads his clouds all round the sky; There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain. He makes the grass the hills adorn, And clothes the smiling fields with corn; The beasts with food his hands supply, And the young ravens when they cry. What is the creature's skill or force, The sprightly man, the warlike horse, The nimble wit, the active limb? All are too mean delights for him. But saints are lovely in his sight, He views his children with delight; He sees their hope, he knows their fear, And looks, and loves his image there. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English
