Creatures vain, and God All sufficient

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #58 (1790) Topics: Works and grace; Works and grace First Line: Blest is the nation, where the Lord Lyrics: 1 Blest is the nation, where the Lord Hath fix'd his gracious throne? Where he reveals his heavenly word, And calls their tribes his own. 2 His eye, with infinite survey, Does the whole world behold; He form'd us all of equal clay, And knows our feeble mould. 3 Kings are not rescued by the force Of armies from the grave; Nor speed nor courage of an horse Can his bold rider save. 4 Vain is the strength of beasts or men, Nor springs our safety thence; But holy souls from God obtain A strong and sure defence. 5 God is their fear, and God their trust: When plagues or famine spread, His watchful eye secures the just, Among ten thousand dead. 6 Lord, let our hearts in thee rejoice, And bless us from thy throne; For we have made thy word our choice, And trust thy grace alone. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English
