Psalm 136
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.311 (1806) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Topics: Grace and providence First Line: Give thanks to God most high Lyrics:
Give thanks to God most high,
The universal Lord,
The sovereign King of kings;
And be his grace adored.
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his name
Have endless praise.
How mighty is his hand!
What wonders hath he done!
He formed the earth and seas,
And spread the heav'ns alone.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.
His wisdom framed the sun
To crown the day with light;
The moon and twinkling stars
To cheer the darksome night.
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his name
Have endless praise.
[He smote the first-born sons,
The flower of Egypt, dead;
And thence his chosen tribes
With joy and glory led.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.
His power and lifted rod
Cleft the Red Sea in two;
And for his people made
A wondrous passage through.
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his name
Have endless praise.
But cruel Pharaoh there,
With all his host, he drowned;
And brought his Isr'el safe
Through a long desert ground.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.
The kings of Canaan fell
Beneath his dreadful hand;
While his own servants took
Possession of their land.
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his name
Have endless praise.]
He saw the nations lie
All perishing in sin,
And pitied the sad state
The ruined world was in.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.
He sent his only Son
To save us from our woe,
From Satan, sin, and death,
And every hurtful foe.
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his name
Have endless praise.
Give thanks aloud to God,
To God the heav'nly King;
And let the spacious earth
His works and glories sing.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.

Psalm 136
When Man grows bold in Sin
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P36c (1766) Topics: Grace and providence; Praise for providence and grace; Providence and Grace promised Lyrics: 1 When Nan grows bold in Sin,
My Heart within me cries,
"He hath no Faith of God within,
Nor Fear before his Eyes."
2 [He walks a-while conceal'd
In a Self-flatt'ring Dream,
Till his dark Crimes at once reveal'd
Expose his hateful Name.]
3 His Heart is false and foul,
His Words are smooth and fair;
Wisdom is banish'd from his Soul,
And leaves no Goodness there.
4 He plots upon his Bed
New Mischiefs to fulfil
He sets his Heart, and Hand, and Head,
To practise all that's ill.
5 But there's a dreadful GOD,
Tho' Men renounce his Fear;
His Justice hid behind the Cloud,
Shall one great Day appear.
6 His Truth transcends the Sky,
In Heav'n his Mercies dwell;
Deep as the Sea his Judgments lie,
His Anger burns to Hell.
7 How excellent his Love,
Whence all our Safety springs!
O never let my Soul remove
From underneath his Wings. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7 Languages: English

Nor hear when mortals pray;
Mortals that wait for their relief,
Are blind and deaf as they.]
