Psalm 136
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.310 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord Lyrics:
Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord;
His mercies still endure;
And be the King of kings adored;
His truth is ever sure.
What wonders hath his wisdom done!
How mighty is his hand!
Heav'n, earth, and sea, he framed alone;
How wide is his command
The sun supplies the day with light;
How bright his counsels shine!
The moon and stars adorn the night;
His works are all divine.
[He struck the sons of Egypt dead;
How dreadful is his rod!
And thence with joy his people led;
How gracious is our God!
He cleft the swelling sea in two;
His arm is great in might;
And gave the tribes a passage through;
His power and grace unite.
But Pharaoh's army there he drowned;
How glorious are his ways!
And brought his saints through desert ground;
Eternal be his praise!
Great monarchs fell beneath his hand;
Victorious is his sword;
While Isr'el took the promised land;
And faithful is his word.]
He saw the nations dead in sin;
He felt his pity move:
How sad the state the world was in!
How boundless was his love!
He sent to save us from our woe;
His goodness never fails;
From death, and hell, and every foe;
And still his grace prevails.
Give thanks to God the heav'nly King;
His mercies still endure:
Let the whole earth his praises sing;
His truth is ever sure.

O give Thanks unto the LORD
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXXXVI (1767) Lyrics: 1 O give Thanks unto the LORD,
To his Name due Praise afford!
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
2 To the LORD your Homage pay,
Whom all other GODS obey;
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
3 Who the Heav'ns in Wisdom made,
And the Earth on Waters laid,
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
4 Yon bright Orb he did display,
Giving him to rule the Day;
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
5 He, the Stars of feebler Light,
Gave the Moon to gild the Night,
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
6 GOD, with his almighty Hand,
Smote the Hopes of Egypt's Land;
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
7 And with his resistless Arm,
Brought out Israel safe from Harm;
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
8 He the Red Sea did divide,
Israel passing through the Tide;
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
9 But proud Pharaoh and his Host,
They were in the Billows lost;
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
10 Safe he led his chosen Seed,
And for them made Monarchs bleed;
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
11 Og and Sihon he destroy'd,
Whilst his Saints their Land enjoy'd;
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
12 He, dispersing all our Foes,
Rescu'd us from heavy Woes;
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end.
13 GOD doth Food to all supply;
Praise the LORD, who reigns on high;
For he proves our constant Friend,
And his Love shall never end. Topics: Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Scripture: Psalm 136 Languages: English Tune Title: [O give Thanks unto the Lord]
O give Thanks unto the LORD
Sing Hallelujah to the Lord
Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithully translated into English metre #PCVI (1758) Lyrics: 1 SiNG HALLELUJAH! to the LORD
give thanks; for good is He,
Because his mercy doth endure
ev'n to eternity,
2 Who can the LORD's great pow'rs declare,
or set forth all his praise?
3 Blessed are they who judgment keep,
and justice do always.
4 LORD mind me with the favour Thou
dost to thy people bear;
And with thy great salvation me
to visit now appear.
5 That I may fee thy nation's good
which Thou hast made thy choice;
And glory with thy heritage,
and in their joy rejoyce.
[2 Part]
6 We with our fathers sinned have,
have sinned ev'ry one,
Have trespassed exceedingly,
and wickedly have done.
7 The mighty wonders Thou hast wrought
in the Egyptian land.
Our fathers saw, but did not mind
or duly understand:
Nor did they mind the multitude
of thy benignities;
But at the sea, at the red sea,
they made thy wrath to rise.
8 Nevertheless He saved them
ev'n for his own name's sake;
That thereby He his sov'reign pow'r
most manifest might make.
9 For He the mighty sea rebuk'd,
and made before Him fly;
And through the depths He led them safe,
as through a desart dry.
10 From his high hand who hated them
He timely did them save;
And from the hand of mighty foes
a full redemption gave.
11 The waters overwhelm'd their foes,
not one was left alive;
12 Then they his word believ'd, and praise
to Him in songs did give.
[3 Part]
13 Yet soon did they his mighty works
ungratefully forget;
Nor for his sov'reign counsel would
with due submission wait.
14 But journeying in the wilderness,
they lusted shamefully;
And in the desart would presume
the glorious God to try.
15 And yet the things which they requir'd
He gave them to the full;
But leaness at the same time sent
into their pining soul.
16 They envy'd Moses in' the camp,
tho' their great prophet known;
And with him Aaron their high priest,
JEHOVAH's holy one.
17 The earth her mouth then op'ned wide,
and Dathan did devour,
With proud Abiram's company,
and hid with dreadful roar.
18 Among the rest who mutiny'd,
a fire was kindled then,
Whose flame pursu'd and soon consum'd,
those daring impious men.
19 They made a calf of melted gold,
while they at Horeb were;
And stupidly they worshipped
the molten image there.
20 Thus they most foolishly exchang'd
Him that their glory was,
For the base likeness of an ox
that feeding lives on grass.
21 They quite forgot the glorious God,
who had their saviour been;
By whom such mighty things perform'd
they had in Egypt seen:
22 The wondrous works which He had done
in Ham's astonish'd land,
The fearful things at the red sea
wrought by his sov'reign hand.
23 He said then, He would them destroy,
if Moses in that day
Had not stood in the dreadful breach,
and turn'd his wrath away.
[4 Part]
24. Yea they despis'd the pleasant land,
and would not trust his word;
25 But murm'ring in their tents, refus'd
to hearken to the LORD.
26 To make them in the desart fall,
He lifted up his hand;
27 Among the nations to disperse
their race in every land.
28 To Baal-peor they join'd themselves,
made off'rings to the dead;
29 With these devices Him provok'd;
the plague among them spread.
30 But Phineas rose, and judgment wrought,
whereon the plague did cease:
31 Which to all ages is to Him
accounted righteousness.
32 Yea at the streams of Meribah
they there incens'd Him so,
That ev'n with Moses for their sakes
it grievously did go:
33 Their provocations were so great,
his patient spirit stir'd,
That with his lips he spake in haste
an unadvised word.
[5 Part]
34 They did not, at the LORD's command,
the impious nations slay;
35 But with the heathen mix'd themselves,
and learnt their works and way.
36 They serv'd their idols, which to them
a fatal snare became;
37 Their sons and daughters sacrific'd
to devils in the flame.
38 The blood of innocents they shed,
to Canaan's idols vile;
Their children's blood they sacrific'd,
and did the land defile.
39 Then with their detestable works
themselves polluted they;
And with devices of their own
a whoring went astray.
40 JEHOVAH's wrath was kindled then
against his people more;
So that his own inheritance
He greatly did abhor,
41 He gave them to the heathen's pow'r,
into their haters hand:
42 Their foes oppress'd them, and they were
enslav'd to their command.
43 He many a time deliver'd them;
but with their councils so
They Him provok'd, that for their sins
again He brought them low.
44 Yet He regarded their distress,
whene'r He heard their cry;
45 And He his covenant for them
recall'd to memory:
46 Yea, in his mercies multitude
did He repent; and made
Them to be pitied of all those
who them had captive led.
47 O save us in this darksome day,
O LORD our mighty God;
Thy people gather where dispers'd,
in gentile lands abroad:
That so we to thy holy name
may render thanks always,
And all together joyfully,
may triumph in thy praise.
48 The LORD, the God of Israel;
be bless'd eternally;
And let all people say, AMEN;
sing HALLELUJAH ye.
Scripture: Psalm 106 Languages: English
Sing Hallelujah to the Lord
The Lord praise, to the Lord give thanks
Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #PCVI (1742) Lyrics: 1 The Lord praise, to the Lord give thanks^
Because that good is he:
Because his mercy doth endure
To perpetuity.
2 Who can the Lord's strong acts forth tell,
Or all his praise display?
3 Bless'd they that judgment keep, and who
Doth righteousness alway.
4 With favour of thy people, Lord,
Do thou remember me:
Me visit with thy saving health,
That com«s alone from thee,
5 To see thy chosen's good, and in
Thy nation's joy rejoice;
That I with thine inheritance
May lift a glorious voice.
6 As our forefathers did, so we
Have sinned wilfully:
We practic'd have iniquity,
And acted wickedly.
[2]
7 Our fathers learn'd not wonders thine
In Egypt, did not mind
Thy many mercies: but at sea,
Red sea, rebell'd unkind.
8 Nevertheless he saved them,
Ev'n for his own name's sake,
That thereby he, his mighty pow'r
Most manifest might make.
9 The red-sea he rebuk'd also,
And up the same was dry'd:
So them, as through the wilderness,
He through the sea did guide,
10 And from his hand that hated them
He freely did them save:
He from the en'mies hand likewise
To them redemption gave.
11 The waters overwhelm'd their foes;
Of them was left not one.
12 They did believe his word, they sang
His praises thereupon.
[3]
13 They, soon forgat his works, nor would
They for his counsel stay.
14 But much in wilderness did lust,
In desart God try'd they.
15 Then he their fruit them gave, but sent
Leanness their soul into.
16 They envy'd Moses in the camp,
Aaron God's saint also.
17 The open'd earth Dathan devour'd,
And hid Abiram's troop.
18 And fire was kindled in their rout,
Flame burnt the wicked up.
19 In Horeb made a molten calf
Ador'd the image base:
20 They chang'd their glory to be like
An ox that eateth grass.
21 They God forgot their saviour who
In Egypt did great acts.
22 Works wonders in the land of Ham,
By red-sea dreadful facts.
23 Then said he'd them destroy, but that
His chosen Moses then
Stood in the breach 'fore him to turn
His wrath from wasting them.
[4]
24 Yet they, despis'd the pleasant land,
Nor did believe his word:
25 But murmur'd in their tents, the voice:
They heard not of the Lord.
26 To make them fall in desart then
Against them lift his hand:
27 Nations among disperse their seed
And fan them in the land.
28 Then to Ba'1-Peer ihey join'd themselves
Eat off'ring of the dead.
29 Their works his wrath did thus provoke
The plague among them spread.
30 Then Phineas rose and judgment wro't
And so the plague did stay.
31 Which justice to him counted was
To age and age for aye.
[5]
32 At waters of contention
They angred him also,
So that with Moses for their sake
It very ill did go.
33 Because his spirit they provok'd
With's lips he spake in haste.
34 The nations, as the Lord them charg'd
They wholly did not waste.
35 But were among the heathen mix'd,
And learn'd their works to do.
32 And did their idols serve, which them
Become a snare unto.
37 Yea unto devils they their sons,
And daughters offered.
38 And guiltless blood, blood of their sons
And of their daughters shed.
Whom unto Cana's idols they
Gave up in sacrifice:
The land with blood abundantly
Polluted was likewife.
39 Thus with the works were they defii'd
Which they themselves had done;
And they did go a whoring with
Inventions of their own.
[6]
40 Then kindled was against his folk
The anger of the Lord,
So that he the inheritance,
Which was his own abhorr'd
41 So gave he them to heathen's handm
Their haters tjeir lords were.
42 Their foes oppressed them and made
Them their hard yoke to bear.
43 Oft he deliver'd them, but they
Provok'd him bitterly
With their own counsels, and grew low
Through their iniquity
44 Yet he regarded their distress
When he heard their complaint:
45 And he did to remembrance call
For them his covenant.
And in his many mercies did
46 Repent. And made them be
Pity'd of all who led them forth
Into captivity.
47 Save us, O Lord our God, and us,
From heathen's gathering raise
To give thanks to thy holy name,
To triumph in thy praise.
41 The Lord the God of Israel,
From aye to aye blest be ;
And let all people say Amen,
O praise Jehovah ye.
