Ye holy Souls, in GOD rejoice

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P33c (1766) Topics: Works and grace Lyrics: 1 Ye holy Souls, in GOD rejoice, Your Maker's Praise becomes your Voice, Great is your Theme, your Songs be new: Sing of his Name, his Word, his Ways. His Works of Nature and of Grace, How wise and holy, just and true! 2 Justice and Truth he ever loves! And the whole Earth his Goodness proves, His Word the heav'nly Arches spread; How wide they shine from North to South! And by the Spirit of his Mouth Were all the starry Armies made. 3 He gathers the wide flowing Seas Those wat'ry Treasures know their Place In the vast Store-house of the Deep. He spake, and gave all Nature Birth; And Fires, and Seas, and Heav'n, and Earth, His everlasting Orders keep. 4 Let Mortals tremble and adore A GOD of such resistless Pow'r, Nor dare indulge their feeble Rage; Vain are your Thoughts, and weak your Hands; But his eternal Counsel stands, And rules the World from Age to Age. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English
