Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.XXI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In thee, great God, with songs of praise, Our favour'd realms rejoice: And, blest with thy salvation, raise To heav'n their cheerful voice. 2 Thy sure defence, thro' nations round, Hath spread our rising name, And all our feeble efforts crown'd With freedom and with fame. 3 In deep distress our injur'd land Implor'd thy pow'r to save; for life we pray'd; thy bounteous hand The timely blessing gave. 4 Thy mighty arm, eternal Pow'r, Oppos'd their deadly aim, In mercy swept them from our shore, and spread their rails with shame. 5 On thee, in want, in woe or pain, Our hearts alone rely; Our rights thy mercy will maintain, And all our wants supply. 6 Thus, Lord, thy wond'rous pow'r declare; And still exalt thy fame; While we glad songs of praise prepare, For thine Almighty name.

In thee, great God, with songs of praise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #21 (1789) Lyrics: 1 In thee, great God, with songs of praise, Our favour'd realms rejoice; And, blest with thy salvation, raise To heav'n their cheerful voice. 2 Thy sure defence, thro' nations round, Hath spread our rising name, And all our feeble efforts crown'd With freedom and with fame. 3 In deep distress our injur'd land Implor'd thy pow'r to save; For life we pray'd; thy bounteous hand The timely blessing gave. 4 Thy mighty arm, eternal pow'r, Oppos'd their deadly aim, In mercy swept them from our shore, And spread their sails with shame. 5 On thee, in want, in woe or pain, Our hearts alone rely; Our rights thy mercy will maintain, And all our wants supply. 6 Thus, Lord, thy wond'rous pow'r declare. And still exalt thy fame; While we glad songs of praise prepare, For thine Almighty name. Part II. 7 David rejoic'd in God his strength, Rais'd to the throne by special grace, But Christ the son appears at length, Fulfils the triumph and the praise. 8 How great is the Messiah's joy In the salvation of thy hand! Lord, thou hast rais'd his kingdom high, And giv'n the world to his command. 9 Thy goodness grants what e'er he will, Nor doth the least request withhold: Blessings of love prevent him still, And crowns of glory, not of gold. 10 Honour and majesty divine Around his sacred temples shine: Blest with the favor of thy face, And length of everlasting days. 11 Thine hand shall find out all his foes; And as a fiery oven glows With raging heat and living coals, So shall thy wrath devour their souls.
