Let the whole Race of Creatures lie

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XCIX (1766) Lyrics: 1 Let the whole Race of Creatures lie Abas'd before their God; Whate'er his sov'reign Voice has form'd He governs with a Nod. [2 Ten Thousand Ages e'er the Skies Were into Motion brought; All the long Years, and Worlds to come, Stood present to his Thought. 3 There's not a Sparrow, or a Worm, But's found in his Decrees; He raises Monarchs to their Thrones, And sinks them as he please.] 4 If Light attends the Course I run, 'Tis he provides those Rays; And 'tis his Hand that hides my Sun, If Darkness clouds my Days. 5 Yet I would not be much concern'd, Nor vainly long to see The Volume of his deep Decrees, What Months are writ for me. 6 When he reveals the Book of Life, O may I read my Name Amongst the chosen of his Love, The Foll'wers of the Lamb.
