The Psalms of David ‎#III.XXV

III.XXV. How are thy Glories here display'd

1 How are thy Glories here display'd,
Great God, how bright they shine,
While, at thy Word we eat the Bread,
And pour the flowing Wine.

2 Here thy revenging Justice stands,
And pleads its dreadful Cause;
Here saving Mercy spreads her Hands,
Like Jesus on the Cross.

3 Thy Saints attend with ev'ry Grace
On this great Sacrifice;
And Love appears with chearful Face,
And Faith with fixed Eyes.

4 Our Hope in waiting Posture sits,
To Heav'n directs her Sight;
Here ev'ry warmer Passion meets,
And warmer Pow'rs unite.

5 Zeal and Revenge perform their Part,
And rising Sin destroy;
Repentance comes with aking Heart,
Yet not forbids the Joy.

6 Dear Saviour change our Faith to Sight,
Let Sin for ever die;
Then shall our Souls be all Delight,
And every Tear be dry.
