The Psalms of David ‎#172a

172a. The God of the Gentiles

1 Let all the Earth their Voices raise
To sing the choicest Psalm of Praise,
To sing and bless Jehovah's Name:
His Glory let the Heathens know,
His Wonders to the Nations show,
And all his saving Works proclaim.

2 The Heathens know thy Glory, Lord;
The wond'ring Nations read thy Word;
In Britain is Jehovah known:
Our Worship shall no more be paid
To Gods, which mortal Hands have made;
Our Maker is our GOD alone.

3 He fram'd the Globe, he built the sky,
He made the shining Worlds on high,
And reigns complete in Glory there:
His Beams are Majesty and Light;
His Beauties, how divinely bright;
His Temple, how divinely fair!

4 Come, the great Day, the glorious Hour,
When Earth shall feel his saving Pow'r,
And barb'rous Nations fear his Name;
Then shall the Race of Men confess
The Beauty of his Holiness,
And in his Courts his Grace proclaim.
