The Mariner's Psalm

Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Providence in air, earth, and sea First Line: Thy works of glory, mighty Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy works of glory, mighty Lord, That rule the boisterous sea, The sons of courage shall record, Who tempt that dangerous way. 2 At thy commands the winds arise, And swell the towering waves! The men astonish'd mount the skies, And sink in gaping graves. 3 [Again they climb the watery hills, And plunge in deeps again; Each like a tottering drunkard reels, And finds his courage vain. 4 Frighted to hear the tempest roar, They pant with fluttering breath; And hopeless of the distant shore Expect immediate death.] 5 Then to the Lord they raise their cries; He hears the loud request, And orders silence through the skies, And lays the floods to rest. 6 Sailors rejoice to lose their fears, And see the storms allay'd; Now to their eyes the port appears; There let their vows be paid. 7 'Tis God that brings them safe to land; Let stupid mortals know That waves are under his command, And all the winds that blow. 8 Oh that the sons of men would praise The goodness of the Lord! And those that see thy wondrous ways, Thy wondrous love record. Scripture: Psalm 107

Israel led to Canaan, and Christians to Heaven

Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Providence in air, earth, and sea 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; Israel, 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 desert wandering 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 wandering march around. And brought their tribes to Canaan's ground. 6 Thus when our first release 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 powerful hand, And brings us to the heavenly land. 8 Oh let the saints with joy record The truth and goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise. Scripture: Psalm 107
