Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I will extol Thee, Lord on high,
At Thy command diseases fly:
Who but a God can speak and save,
From the dark borders of the grave?
2. Sing to the Lord, ye saints of His,
And tell how large His goodness is;
Let all your powers rejoice and bless
While you record His holiness.
3. His anger but a moment stays;
His love is life and length of days;
Though grief and tears the night employ,
The morning star restores the joy. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
I Will Extol Thee, Lord on High
