O Britain, praise thy mighty GOD

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P147b (1766) Topics: Blessings of a nation Lyrics: 1 O Britain, praise thy mighty GOD, And make his Honours known abroad; He bid the Ocean round thee flow; Not Bars of Brass could guard thee so. 2 Thy Children are secure and blest; Thy Shores have Peace, thy Cities Rest; He feeds thy Sons with finest Wheat, And adds his Blessing to their Meat. 3 Thy changing Seasons he ordains, Thine early and thy latter Rains; His Flakes of Snow like Wool he sends, And thus the springing Corn defends. 4 With hoary Frost he strews the Ground; His Hail descends with clatt'ring Sound: Where is the Man so vainly bold That dares defy his dreadful Cold? 5 He bids the Southern Breezes blow; The Ice dissolve, the Waters flow; But he hath nobler Works and Ways To call the Britons to his Praise. 6 To all the Isle his Laws are shown, His Gospel through the Nation known; He hath not thus reveal'd his Word To ev'ry Land: Praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English

Israel led to Canaan, and Christians to Heaven

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #193b (1740) Topics: Nation blest and punished First Line: Give Thanks to GOD: He reigns above Lyrics: 1 Give Thanks to GOD; He reigns above; Kind are his Thoughts, his Name is Love; His Mercy Ages past have known, And Ages long to come shall own. 2 Let the Redeemed of the Lord The Wonders of his Grace record; Isr'el, the Nation whom he chose, And rescu'd from their mighty Foes. 3 [When GOD's Almighty Arm had broke Their Fetters and th' Egyptian Yoke, They trac'd the Desart, wand'ring round A wild and solitary Ground! 4 There they could find no leading Road, Nor City for a fix'd Abode; Nor Food nor Fountain to asswage Their burning Thirst or Hunger's Rage.] 5 In their Distress to GOD they cry'd; GOD was their Saviour and their Guide; He led their March far wand'ring round; 'Twas the right Path to Canaan's Ground. 6 Thus when our first Telease we gain From Sin's old Yoke, and Satan's Chain, We have this desert world to pass, A dangerous and a tiresome Place. 7 He feeds and clothes us all the Way, He guides our Footsteps, lest we stray; He guards us with a pow'rful Hand, And brings us to the heav'nly Land. 8 O let the Saints with joy record The Truth and Goodness of the Lord! How great his Works! how kind his Ways! Let ev'ry Tongue pronounce his Praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English
