Psalm 111 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 126 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 111 First Line: Songs of immortal praise belong Lyrics: Songs of immortal praise belong To my almighty God; He has my heart, and he my tongue, To spread his name abroad. How great the works his hand has wrought How glorious in our sight! And men in every age have sought His wonders with delight. How most exact is nature's frame! How wise th' Eternal mind! His counsels never change the scheme That his first thoughts designed. When he redeemed his chosen sons, He fixed his cov'nant sure; The orders that his lips pronounce To endless years endure. Nature and time, and earth and skies, Thy heav'nly skill proclaim; What shall we do to make us wise, But learn to read thy name? To fear thy power, to trust thy grace, Is our divinest skill; And he's the wisest of our race That best obeys thy will.

Praise ye the Lord, our God to praise

Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 111 Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord; our God to praise, My Soul her utmost Pow'rs shall raise, With private Friends, and in the Throng Of Saints his Praise shall be my Song. 2 His Works, for Greatness tho' renown'd, His wond'rous Works with Ease are found By those who seek for them aright, And in the pious Search delight. 3 His Works are all of matchless Fame, And universal Glory claim; His Truth confirm'd thro' Ages past, Shall to eternal Ages last. 4 By Precept he has us enjoin'd, To keep his wond'rous Works in Mind; And to Posterity record, That good and gracious is our Lord. 5 His Bounty, like a flowing Tide, Has all his Servants Wants supply'd; And he will ever keep in Mind, His Cov'nant with our Fathers sign'd. 6 At once astonish'd and o'erjoy'd, They saw his matchless Pow'r employ'd; Whereby the Heathen were suppress'd, And we their Heritage possess'd. 7 Just are the Dealings of his Hands, Immutable are his Commands, 8 By Truth and Equity sustain'd, And for eternal Rules ordain'd. 9 He sets his Saints from Bondage free, And then establish'd his Decree, For ever to remain the same; Holy and rev'rend is his Name. 10 Who Wisdom's sacred Prize would win, Must with the Fear of God begin; Immortal Praise and heav'nly Skill Have they who know and do his Will.

Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide, oh, receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenceless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find! Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.
