O render Thanks and bless the LORD
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 O render Thanks and bless the LORD,
Invoke his ever sacred Name;
Acquaint the Nations with his Deeds,
His great and matchless Deeds proclaim:
His wond'rous Works in Hymns rehearse,
Make them the Subject of your Verse.
2 Rejoice in his Almighty Name,
Which only ought to be ador'd;
And let their Hearts o'erflow with Joy,
Who seek with humble Fear the LORD:
Seek ye the LORD, his Strength implore,
Seek ye his Face for evermore.
3 The Wonders that his Hands have wrought,
Keep ever thankfully in Mind;
With all the Statutes of his Mouth,
And Laws he hath to us assign'd:
His Works are glorious to the View,
His Judgments all are just and true.
4 Know ye, his Servant Abra'm's Seed,
And likewise Jacob's chosen Race;
He's still our GOD, and through the Earth,
His righteous Judgments will take Place:
His Word, for Thousand Ages past,
Hath stood, and shall for ever last.
5 His Cov'nant first to Abra'am sign'd,
By Oath to Isaac made secure;
To Jacob and his Heirs, confirm'd,
A Law for ever to endure:
A Testament to Israel made,
Is on a firm Foundation laid.
6 That Canaan's Land should be their Lot,
When yet but few of them there were:
But few in Number, and those few
Forlorn and helpless Strangers there:
From Realm to Realm secure they mov'd,
Whilst Kings were for their Sakes reprov'd.
7 "These mine Anointed are (said he)
"Let none my chosen Servants wrong;
"Nor treat the poorest Prophet ill,
"That doth to me, his GOD, belong."
AT last he made their Corn to fail,
And through the Land a Dearth prevail.
8 But Joseph he had sent before,
Who for a Slave was sold and bound;
His Feet, secur'd within the Stocks,
Did galling Irons pierce and wound:
'Till GOD's appointed Time and Word,
Had try'd him, and did Help afford.
9 The King then sent, and set him free,
And Lord of all his Houshold made;
His Wealth he gave to him in Charge,
Before him all his Counsels laid.
That he might teach his Statesmen Skill,
And tell the Princes of his Will.

10 To Egypt then, invited Guests,
With Speed, half famish'd Israel came;
And Jacob, though a Stranger, held
By royal Grant the Land of Ham:
There GOD his People multiply'd,
'Till they with their Oppressors vy'd
11 Their vast Increase th'Egyptian's Hearts,
With Jealousy and Anger fir'd;
'Till they his Servants to destroy,
With secret Treachery conspir'd:
Their Hearts against his People turn'd,
Their Breasts with inward Envy burn'd.
12 His Servant Moses then he sent,
He sent his chosen Aaron too;
Empow'r'd with Signs and Miracles,
To prove their sacred Mission true:
These shew'd the Wonders of his Hand,
And spread their Tokens through the Land.
13 He call'd for Darkness, and it came,
Yet would they not his Voice obey;
He turn'd their Waters into Blood,
And did their Fish in Numbers slay:
A noisome Pest of Frogs was bred,
And sent to croak at Pharaoh's Bed.
14 He gave the Sign, and Swarms of Flies,
Came from above in cloudy Hosts;
While Earth's enlivin'd Dust below,
Bred hateful Lice through all their Coasts:
Hailstones he did for Rain command,
And Flames of Fire, to plague the Land.
33 He smote their Fig Trees and their Vines,
Their lofty Forst Trees destroy'd;
Locusts and Caterpillars join'd;
In dreadful Swarms, the Land annoy'd:
Their Numbers cover'd all the Ground,
And eat the Fruit and Herbage round.
16 He, in one Night their First-born smote,
The Chief of all their Pride he slew;
But from their Land, enrich'd with Spoils,
In Health and Strength his Servants drew:
Egypt was glad when they remov'd,
Who had to them so fatal prov'd.
17 GOD spread a Cloud to cover them,
A Fire at Night was their sure Guide;
He gave them Quails at their Desire,
And them with heav'nly Bread supply'd:
He smote the Rock, and from the Wound,
The gushing Waters flow'd around.
18 For he his Promise kept in Mind,
And brought his People forth with Joy;
Gave them the Fruit of others Toil,
And did their Heathen Foes destroy:
That they his Statutes may obey,
And to his Laws due Rev'rence pay. Topics: Thanksgivings For Delerances and Wonders, General Used With Tune: [O render Thanks, and bless the Lord]

Sing Praise to God, Our Highest Good
Sing to the Lord; invoke his sacred name
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord; invoke his sacred name;
His glorious acts to all the earth proclaim;
2 Our dread Jehovah claims your noblest lays;
Loud let th' exulting tribes chant forth his praise.
3 Let his great name employ the grateful voice;
Let all, that love his name, sincere rejoice:
4 With firmest heart on his blest pow'r rely;
His presence ask--'twill ev'ry want supply.
5 Reflect the works of his almighty hand,
Th' observance that his sacred laws command.
6 To you, blest Abr'ham's race, I speak alone,
To you whom he hath deign'd to call his own.
7 He is our king, e'en he th' almighty God;
Who to th' astonish'd earth his truth hath shew'd,
8 Firm to his covenant he 'as long remain'd,
Which for a thousand ages he ordain'd;
9 Which he with Abr'ham made in days of yore,
To which with Isaac solemnly he swore,
10 Which Jacob heard confirm'd, and which shall bless,
Inviolate, to endless time, his race.
11 "To thee (he said) rich Canaan's lands I'll give,
"Thou in her fertile plains shalt ever live:"
12 E'en then, when yet they were but strangers there,
And weak their pow'r, and few their numbers were;
13 When they, as heav'n ordain'd, poor wand'rers, rov'd
From place to place, and had no fix'd abode.
14 Yet them in peace his goodness still maintain'd;
The cruel rage of threat'ning kings restrain'd,
15 And bad them not those favour'd tribes oppress,
Whom with peculiar love he chose to bless.
16 When a dire famine sore distrest the land,
And scarce th' enfeebled nations life sustain'd,
17 Fair Rachel's favour'd son he sent, a slave,
To those glad lands, Nile's fertile waters lave.
18 There long in prison, long in chains, he lay,
'Til heav'n it's mercy to him did display,
19 Dreams to interpret, gave the wond'rous pow'r,
And taught, the scheme of providence t' explore.
20 This heard the king; he set the pris'ner free,
'Twas Egypt's monarch gave him liberty.
21 He made a bond-slave ruler o'er his land;
O'er all the palace his was the command;
22 That next in honour to his prince he stood,
While all the nobles with obeisance bow'd.
23 'Twas then that Israel into Egypt came,
And sojourn'd in the fruitful plains of Ham:
24 Our God his people 'bove the natives blest;
That soon in pow'r, in numbers, they increas'd.
25 This saw th' Egyptian monarch with regret,
And strait fell on the favour'd tribes his hate:
26 Long suffer'd they, when their almighty friend
Did Humble Moses to their succour send.
27 Aaron and he by their dread wonders prove,
That they had their commission from above.
28 Nature obeys, at once, their great command;
A gloomy darkness shrouds th' astonish'd land;
29 Their streams polluted, flow with fetid gore,
And all their fish lie dead upon the shore:
30 Not now the soil it's glad'ning produce yields,
But frogs infest their palaces and fields.
31 In swarms unnumber'd rang'd the noisome flies,
And all their coasts are cover'd o'er with lice.
32 The kindly rains enrich their glebe no more,
But storms of hail and flame around them pour.
33 Their vines no more the chearful juice supply,
And trees, fruits, flow'rs, in one wild ruin lie.
34 In flights the locusts and the beetles come,
And, what the hail hath left them, they consume;
So that not food for sustenance remains,
But one wild desolation fills the plains.
36 Nay; more t' enhance their fatal miseries,
The favour'd son, the dear-lov'd first born, dies.
37 At last the humbled tyrant lets us go;
A joy sincere his ruin'd people shew;
While we depart, of countless wealth possest,
With nervous strength, with sprightly vigour, blest.
39 By a dun cloud he leads us in the day;
By night a glitt'ring shine directs our way:
40 We ask, and strait we're fed with bread from heav'n;
We ask, and birds of richest taste are giv'n.
41 The rock he smote, and strait the waters came,
Free as a riv'let, gush'd the slaking stream.
42 For he his faithful Abr'ham not forgot,
Nor wou'd he bring his promises to nought;
43 His gracious goodness pointed them the road;
With joy they follow'd their directing God.
44 The heathen's lands he gave them to possess;
And all the produce of their toils in peace;
45 That they his holy statutes might obey,
And never from his dread commandments stray.
