2 Her dust and ruins that remain 4 He sits a sovereign on His throne, He hears the dying prisoners groan, 5 This shall be known when we are dead, That ages yet unborn may read, 138 PSALM CII. L. M. WATTS. 1 PARE us, O Lord, aloud we pray, Thy years are one eternal day, 2 Yet in the midst of death and grief 3 "Twas He this earth's foundation laid; And all be chang'd at His command. 4 The starry curtains of the sky, Like garments shall be laid aside; But still Thy throne stands firm on high, 139 PSALM CIII. 8. M. WATTS. 1 Lord, soul; 2 Let all within me join, And aid my tongue to bless His name O bless the Lord, my soul, 3 "Tis He forgives thy sins, 4 "Tis He that heals thy sicknesses, And makes thee young again. He crowns thy life with love, When ransom'd from the grave: He that redeem'd my soul from hell Hath sovereign power to save. 5 He fills the poor with good, He gives the sufferers rest; The Lord hath judgments for the proud, And justice for th' oppress'd. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known; But sent the world His truth and grace 140 PSALM CIII. S. M. WATTS. 1 M whose mercies are so great, soul, repeat His praise, Whose anger is so slow to rise, 2 God will not always chide; 3 4 5 6 High as the heavens are rais'd The pity of the Lord To those that fear His name, He knows we are but dust, 7 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower; 8 If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure: And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure, 141 1 PSALM CIII. L.M. WATTS. Ball' home thy thoughts that rove LESS, O my soul, the living God, abroad; Let all the powers within me join 2 Bless, O my soul, the God of grace; 3 'Tis He, my soul, who sent His Son, 4 His power He shew'd by Moses' hands, 5 Let the whole earth His power confess, 142 PSALM CIII. 8.7.4. LYTE. 1 PRAISE, my soul, the King of heaven, His feet thy tribute bring: Ransom'd, heal'd, restor'd, forgiven, Praise the everlasting King. 2 Praise Him for His grace and favour Glorious in His faithfulness, 3 Fatherlike He tends and spares us; Widely as His mercy flows. 4 Angels, help us to adore Him; Ye behold Him face to face; All His works bow down before Him, Through the boundless realms of space, Praise Him, praise Him, Praise with us the God of grace. 143 1 PSALM CIV. L. M. WATTS. M when cloth'd in His celestial rays, Y soul, thy great Creator praise: He in full majesty appears, And, like a robe, His glory wears. 2 The heavens are for His curtain spread, 3 Vast are Thy works, Almighty Lord; And the whole race of creatures stands 4 In Thee my hopes and wishes meet, 144 1 PSALM CIV. 104th M. GRANT. WORSHIP the King O gratefully sing His power and His love! Our Shield and Defender, The Ancient of Days, Pavilion'd in splendour, And girded with praise. H |
