A Collection of Psalms and Hymns ‎#I

I. Ye holy souls, in God rejoice

1 Ye holy Souls, in GOD rejoice,
Your Maker's Praise becomes your Voice,
Great is your Theme, your Songs be new:
Sing of his Name, his Word, his Ways,
His Works of Nature and of Grace,
How wise and holy, just and true!

2 Justice and Truth he ever loves!
And the whole Earth his Goodness proves,
His Word the heavenly Arches spread;
How wide they shine from North to South!
And by the Spirit of his Mouth
Were all the Starry Armies made.

3 He gatherest the wide flowing Seas
Those watry Treasures know their Place
In the vast Store-house of the Deep.
He spake, and gave all Nature Birth;
And Fires, and Seas, and Heaven, and Earth,
His everlasting Orders keep.

4 Let Mortals tremble and adore
A GOD of such resistless Power,
Nor dare indulge their feeble Rage;
Vain are your Thoughts, and weak your Hands;
But his eternal Counsel stands,
And rules the World from Age to Age.
