Select Psalms and Hymns for the use of Mr. Adgate's pupils ‎#IX

IX. Praise to God for his greatness

I O come, loud anthems let us sing,
Loud thanks to our almighty King;
For we our voices high should raise,
When our salvation's Rock we praise.

II Into his presence let us haste
To thank him for his favours past.
To him address in joyful songs,
The praise that to his name belongs.

III For God the Lord, enthron'd in state,
Is, with unrival'd glory, great;
A king superior far to all,
Whom by his title God we call,

IV The depths of earth are in his hand,
Her secret wealth at his command;
The strength of hills that threat the skies,
Subjected to his empire lies.

V O let us to his courts repair,
And bow with adoration there:
Down on our knees devoutly all
Before the Lord our maker fall.
