O render Thanks to God above

Appears in 232 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 106 Lyrics: 1 O render Thanks to God above, The Fountain of eternal Love; Whose Mercy firm through Ages past Has stood, and shall for ever last. 2 Who can His mighty Deeds express, Not only vast, but numberless? What mortal Eloquence can raise His Tribute of immortal Praise? 3 Happy are they, and only they, Who from thy Judgments never stray: Who know what's right; nor only so, But always practice what they know. 4 Extend to me that Favour, Lord, Thou to thy Chosen do'st afford; When Thou return'st to set them free, Let thy Salvation visit me. 5 O may I worthy prove to see Thy Saints in full Prosperity: That I the joyful Choir may join, And count thy People's Triumph mine. 6 But ah! can we expect such Grace, Of Parents vile, the viler Race; Who their Misdeeds have acted o'er, And with new Crimes increas'd the Score? 7 Ingrateful, they no longer thought On all his works in Egypt wrought; The Red Sea they no sooner view'd, But they their base Distrust renew'd. 8 Yet he, to vindicate his Name, Once more to their Deliv'rance came, To make his sov'reign Pow'r be known, That he is God, and he alone. 9 To Right and Left, at his Command, The prating Deep disclos'd her Sand; Where firm and dry the passage lay, As through some parch'd and desart Way. 10 Thus rescu'd from their Foes they were, Who closely press'd upon their Rear, 11 Whose Rage pursu'd 'em to those Waves, That prov'd the rash Pursuers Graves. 12 The Watry Mountains sudden Fall O'erwhelm'd proud Pharaoh, Host and all. This Proof did stupid Isr'el move To own God's Truth, and praise his Love. Part II 13 But soon these Wonders they forgot, And for his Counsel waited not; 14 But lusting in the Wilderness, Did him with fresh Temptations press. 15 Strong Food at their Request he sent, But made their Sin their Punishment. 16 Yet still his Saints they did oppose, The priest and Prophet whom he chose. 17 But Earth, the Quarrel to decide, Her vengeful Jaws extended wide, Rash Dathan to her Centre drew, With proud Abiram's factious Crew. 18 The rest of those who did conspire To kindle wild Sedition's Fire, With all their impious Train, became A Prey to Heav'n's devouring Flame. 19 Near Horeb's Mount, a Calf they made, And to the molten Image pray'd; 20 Adoring what their hands did frame, They chang'd their Glory to their Shame. 21 Their God and Saviour they forgot, And all his works in Egypt wrought; 22 His Signs in Ham's astonish'd Coast, and where proud Pharaoh's Troops were lost. 23 Thus urg'd, his vengeful Hand he rear'd, But Moses in the Breach appear'd; The Saint did for the Rebels pray, And turn'd Heav'n's kindled Wrath away. 24,25 Yet they his pleasant Land despis'd, Nor his repeated promise priz'd, Nor did th' Almighty's Voice obey' But when God said, Go up, would stay. 26,27 This seal'd their Doom, without Redress To perish in the Wilderness; Or else to be by Heathen Hands O'erthrown and scatter'd thro' the Lands. Part III 28 Yet unreclaim'd, this stubborn Race Baal Peor's Worship did embrace; Became his impious Guests, and fed On Sacrifices to the Dead. 29 Thus they perished to provoke God's Vengeance to the final Stroke. 'Tis come:--the deadly Pest is come To execute their gen'ral Doom 30 But Phineas fir'd with holy Rage, (Th' Almighty Vengeance to assuage) Did, by two bold offenders Fall, Th' Atonement make that ransom'd All. 31 As him a Heav'nly Zeal had mov'd, So Heav'n the zealous Act approv'd; To him confirming, and his Race, The Priesthood he so well did grace. 32 At Meribah God's Wrath they mov'd, Who Moses for their sakes reprov'd; 33 Whose patient Soul they did provoke, 'Till rashly the meek Prophet spoke. 34 Nor when possess'd of Canaan's land, Did they perform their Lord's Command, Nor his commission'd Sword employ The guilty Nations to destroy. 35 Nor only spar'd the pagan Crew, But mingling learnt their Vices too; 36 And worship to those Idols paid, Which them to fatal Snares betray'd. 37,38 To Devils they did sacrifice Their Children with relentless Eyes; Approach'd their Altars thro' a Flood Of their own Sons and Daughters Blood. No cheaper Victims would appease Canaan's remorseless Deities; No Blood her Idols reconcile, But that which did the Land defile. Part IV 39 Nor did these savage Cruelties The hardn'd Reprobates suffice; For after their Hearts Lusts they went, And daily did new Crimes invent. 40 But sins of such infernal Hue God's Wrath against his People drew, 'Till he, their once indulgent Lord, His own Inheritance abhor'd. 41 He them defenceless did expose To their insulting heathen Foes; And made them on the Triumphs wait, Of those who bare them greatest Hate. 42 Nor thus his Indignation ceas'd; Their List of Tyrants he increas'd, 'Till they, who God's mild Sway declin'd, Were made the Vassals of mankind. 43 Yet, when distress'd, they did repent, His Anger did as oft relent: But freed, they did his Wrath provoke, Renew'd their Sins, and he their Yoke. 44 Nor yet implacable he prov'd, Nor heard their wretched Cries unmov'd; 45 But did to mind his promise bring, And Mercy's inexhausted Spring. 46 Compassion too he did impart, Ev'n to their Foes obdurate Heart, And Pity for their Suff'rings bred In those who them to Bondage led. 47 Still save us, lord, and Isr'el's Bands Together bring from Heathen lands; So to thy Name our Thanks we'll raise, And ever triumph in thy Praise. 48 Let Isr'el's God be ever bless'd, His Name eternally confess'd: Let all His saints, with full Accord, Sing loud Amen.--Praise ye the Lord.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 106:7-8 First Line: God of eternal love Lyrics: God of eternal love, How fickle are our ways! And yet how oft did Isr'el prove Thy constancy of grace! They saw thy wonders wrought, And then thy praise they sung; But soon thy works of power forgot, And murmured with their tongue. Now they believe his word While rocks with rivers flow; Now with their lusts provoke the Lord, And he reduced them low. Yet when they mourned their faults, He hearkened to their groans, Brought his own cov'nant to his thoughts, And called them still his sons. Their names were in his book, He saved them from their foes Oft he chastised, but ne'er forsook The people that he chose. Let Isr'el bless the Lord, Who loved their ancient race And Christians join the solemn word, Amen, to all the praise.

Psalm 106: Give praise and thanks unto the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 106 First Line: Give praise and thanks unto the Lord Lyrics: 1Give praise and thanks unto the Lord, for bountiful is he; His tender mercy doth endure unto eternity. 2God’s mighty works who can express? or shew forth all his praise? 3Blessed are they that judgment keep, and justly do always. 4Remember me, Lord, with that love which thou to thine dost bear; With thy salvation, O my God, to visit me draw near: 5That I thy chosen’s good may see, and in their joy rejoice; And may with thine inheritance triumph with cheerful voice. 6We with our fathers sinned have, and of iniquity Too long we have the workers been; we have done wickedly. 7The wonders great, which thou, O Lord, didst work in Egypt land, Our fathers, though they saw, yet them they did not understand: And they thy mercies’ multitude kept not in memory; But at the sea, ev’n the Red sea, provok’d him grievously. 8Nevertheless he saved them, ev’n for his own name’s sake; That so he might to be well known his mighty power make. 9When he the Red sea did rebuke, then dried up it was: Through depths, as through the wilderness, he safely made them pass. 10From hands of those that hated them he did his people save; And from the en’my’s cruel hand to them redemption gave. 11The waters overwhelm’d their foes; not one was left alive. 12Then they believ’d his word, and praise to him in songs did give. 13But soon did they his mighty works forget unthankfully, And on his counsel and his will did not wait patiently; 14But much did lust in wilderness, and God in desert tempt. 15He gave them what they sought, but to their soul he leanness sent. 16And against Moses in the camp their envy did appear; At Aaron they, the saint of God, envious also were. 17Therefore the earth did open wide, and Dathan did devour, And all Abiram’s company did cover in that hour. 18Likewise among their company a fire was kindled then; And so the hot consuming flame burnt up these wicked men. 19Upon the hill of Horeb they an idol-calf did frame, A molten image they did make, and worshipped the same. 20And thus their glory, and their God, most vainly changed they Into the likeness of an ox that eateth grass or hay. 21They did forget the mighty God, that had their saviour been, By whom such great things brought to pass they had in Egypt seen. 22In Ham’s land he did wondrous works, things terrible did he, When he his mighty hand and arm stretch’d out at the Red sea. 23Then said he, He would them destroy, had not, his wrath to stay, His chosen Moses stood in breach, that them he should not slay. 24Yea, they despis’d the pleasant land, believed not his word: 25But in their tents they murmured, not heark’ning to the Lord. 26Therefore in desert them to slay he lifted up his hand: 27’Mong nations to o’erthrow their seed, and scatter in each land. 28They unto Baal-peor did themselves associate; The sacrifices of the dead they did profanely eat. 29Thus, by their lewd inventions, they did provoke his ire; And then upon them suddenly the plague brake in as fire. 30Then Phin’has rose, and justice did, and so the plague did cease; 31That to all ages counted was to him for righteousness. 32And at the waters, where they strove, they did him angry make, In such sort, that it fared ill with Moses for their sake: 33Because they there his spirit meek provoked bitterly, So that he utter’d with his lips words unadvisedly. 34Nor, as the Lord commanded them, did they the nations slay: 35But with the heathen mingled were, and learn’d of them their way. 36And they their idols serv’d, which did a snare unto them turn. 37Their sons and daughters they to dev’ls in sacrifice did burn. 38In their own children’s guiltless blood their hands they did imbrue, Whom to Canaan’s idols they for sacrifices slew: So was the land defil’d with blood. 39They stain’d with their own way, And with their own inventions a whoring they did stray. 40Against his people kindled was the wrath of God therefore, Insomuch that he did his own inheritance abhor. 41He gave them to the heathen’s hand; their foes did them command. 42Their en’mies them oppress’d, they were made subject to their hand. 43He many times deliver’d them; but with their counsel so They him provok’d, that for their sin they were brought very low. 44Yet their affliction he beheld, when he did hear their cry: 45And he for them his covenant did call to memory; After his mercies’ multitude 46he did repent: And made Them to be pity’d of all those who did them captive lead. 47O Lord our God, us save, and gather the heathen from among, That we thy holy name may praise in a triumphant song. 48Bless’d be Jehovah, Isr’el’s God, to all eternity: Let all the people say, Amen. Praise to the Lord give ye.

Author: W. K. Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 106 First Line: Praise ye the Lord, for he is good Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for he is good, his mercy dures for aye: 2 Who can expresse his noble acts, or all his praise display? 3 They blessèd are that judgement keep, and justly do alway: With favour of thy people (Lord) remember me, I pray. 4 And with thy saving health (O Lord) vouchsafe to visit me: That I the great felicity of thine elect may see. 5 And with thy peoples joy I may a joyfull mind possesse: And may with thine inheritance a glorying heart expresse. 6 Both we and eke our fathers all, have simned every one: We have committed wickednesse, and lewdly we have done. 7 The wonders great which thou (O Lord) hast done in Egypt s land: Our fathers, though they saw them all, yet did not understand. Nor yet thy mercies multitude did keep in thankfull mind: But at the sea, yea, the red sea, rebelled most unkind. 8 Neverthelesse he saved them for honour of his Name That he might make his power knowne and spread abroad his fame. 9 The red sea he did then rebuke, and forthwith it was dry'd: And as in wildernesse, so through the deep he did them guide. 10 He sav'd them from the cruell hand of their despitefull foe: And from the enemies hand he did deliver them also. The second Part: 11 The waters their oppressours whelm'd, not one was left alive: 12 Then they believ'd his word, & praise in song they did him give. 13 But very soon unthankfully his works they clean forgot: And for his counsell and his will they did neglect to wait. 14 But lusted in the wildernesse, with fond and greedy lust: And in the desart tempted God, the stay of all their trust. 15 And then their wanton minds desire he suffer'd them to have: But wasting leanenesse therewithall unto their soules he gave. 16 Then when they lodged in their tents, at Moses they did grutch: Aaron the holy of the Lord so did they envy much. 17 Therefore the earth did open wide, and Dathan did devoure: And all Abirams company did cover in that houre. 18 In their assembly kindled was a hot consuming fire: And wasting flame did then burn up the wicked in his ire. 19 Upon the hill of Horeb they an idoll calfe did frame: And there the molten image they did worship of the same. 20 Into the likenesse of a Calfe which feedeth on the grasse, Thus they their glory turn'd and all their honour did deface; 21 And God their onely Saviour unkindly they forgot: Which many great and mighty things in Egypt land had wrought. The third Part. 22 And in the land of Ham for them most wondrous works had done: And by the red sea dreadfull things Perform-ed long agone. 23 Therefore for their so shewing them forgetfull and unkind: To bring destruction on them all he purpos'd in his mind: Had not his chosen Moses stood before him in the break To turn his wrath left he on them with slaughter should him wreak. 24 They did despise the pleasant land, that he behight to give: Yea and the words that he had spoke they did no whit believe. 25 But in their tents with grudging heart they wickedly repin'd: Nor to the voice of God the Lord did give an hark'ning mind. 26 Therefore against them lifted he his strong revenging hand: Them to destroy in wildernesse, ere they should see the land. 27 And to destroy their seed among the nations with his rod: And through the countries of the world to scatter them abroad. 28 To Baal Peor then they did and joyne themselves also: And ate the offerings of the dead so they forsook him tho. 29 Thus with their own inventions his wrath they did provoke: And in his sore inkindled wrath the plague upon them broke. 30 But Phineas stood up with zeal the sinners vile to slay: And judgement he did execute, and then the plague did stay. The fourth Part. 31 It was imputed unto him for righteousness that day, And from thenceforth so counted is from race to race, I say. 32 At waters eke of Meribah they did him angry make: Yea, so far forth that Moses then was punish'd for their sake. 33 Because they vex'd his spirit so sore, that in impatient heat His lips spake unadvisedly, his fervour was so great. 34 Nor as the Lord commanded them they slew the people tho: 35 But were among the heathen mix'd, and learn'd their works also. 36 And did their idols serve which were their ruine and decay: 37 To fiends their sons and daughters they they offer up and slay: 38 Yea with unkindly murdering knife the guiltlesse blood they spilt: Yet their own sons and daughters blooud without all cause of guilt. Whom they to Canaan idols then offred with wicked hand: And so with bloud of innocents defiled was the land. 39 Thus they were stained with the works of their own filthy way: And with their own inventions a whoring they did stray. 40 Therefore against his people was the Lords wrath kindled sore: And even his own inheritance he did abhorre therefore. 41 Into the hands of heathen men he gave them for a prey: And made their foes their :ords, whom they were forced to obey. The fift Part: 42 Yea and their hatefull enemies opprest them in their land: And they were humbly made to stoope as subjects to their hand. 43 Full oftentimes from thrall had he delivered them before: But with their counsels they to wrath provok'd him evermore.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 106:12-48 Lyrics: Must all the charms of nature, then, So hopeless to salvation prove? Can hell demand, can heav'n condemn, The man whom Jesus deigns to love? The man who sought the ways of truth, Paid friends and neighbors all their due; A modest, sober, lovely youth, And thought he wanted nothing new. But mark the change; thus spake the Lord- "Come, part with earth for heav'n today:" The youth, astonished at the word, In silent sadness went his way. Poor virtues that he boasted so, This test unable to endure; Let Christ, and grace, and glory go, To make his land and money sure! Ah, foolish choice of treasures here! Ah, fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold? In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me: Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee.

Surprising scene! triumphant stroke That rends the prison of my clay; And I can feel my fetters broke. Absent from flesh! then rise, my soul, Where feet nor wings could never climb, Beyond the heav'ns, where planets roll, Measuring the cares and joys of time. I go where God and glory shine, His presence makes eternal day: My all that's mortal I resign, For angels wait and point my way.
