Praise God in that bless'd Place

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CL (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God his Majesty and Attributes; Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 Praise GOD in that bless'd Place, From whence his Goodness flows, In Heav'n, where he his Face Unveil'd in Glory shows. Praise him, for with the mighty Acts Which he for us hath done, Our Praise should equal run. His Kindness this Return exacts. 2 Let the shrill Trumpet's Voice Make Rocks his Praise resound; Praise him with Harp's sweet Noise, And Psaltries Silver sound. Let graceful Virgins lead the Dance, And sprightly Timbrels bring; Let ev'ry warbling String, With Organs join'd, his Praise advance. 3 Let them who Hymns compose, To Cymbals set their Praise, Of common Use, and those That sound on solemn Days. The Breath he does to them afford, Let them who Life enjoy, In Songs of Praise employ, LET EV'RY CREATURE PRAISE THE LORD!

Whilst Men their Songs prepare, Thy Wonders to declare, On thy Greatness I will dwell. 3 Thy Kindness shall be shown, Thy Righteousness be known, Songs of Praise shall reach the Skies. Thy Wrath does slowly move; But thy forgiving Love On the Wings of Mercy flies. 4 Thy Works in thee are bless'd, Thy Love's to all express'd, And thy Saints, with Zeal inspir'd, Thy Glory shall adore, And talk of thy great Pow'r, 'Till by all it is admir'd. 5 Thus shall thy Works be known, And thus thy Glory shown, For thy Splendor still shall last; Thy Throne from Changes free, Which doth no Period see, Shall remain forever fast. Part II 6 The LORD helps those that fall, On him his Creatures call, Daily Food he doth supply; Whate'er their Wants require, He give at their Desire, Nor doth any Good deny. 7 He's just in all his Ways, Whoe'er devoutly prays, Him shall find for ever night; When they his Aid implore, And humbly him adore, He will hearken to their Cry. 8 The LORD will sure protect Those who his Name respect, But the Wicked shall destroy; My Mouth shall speak his Praise, And let all Mankind raise One loud Song of gen'ral Joy.

The gracious LORD hath us enjoin'd, To keep his wond'rous Works in Mind. 3 His Bounty, like a flowing Tide, Has all his Servants Wants supply'd; And he will ever keep in Mind, His Cov'nant with our Fathers sign'd: For us he did his Pow'r display, To us the Heathen Lands convey. 4 Just are the Dealings of his Hands, Immutable are his Commands; He set his Saints from Bondage free, And then establish'd his Decree, For ever to remain the same; Holy and Rev'rend is his Name! 5 Who Wisdom's sacred Prize would win, Must with the Fear of GOD begin; Good Understanding, heav'nly Skill Have they, who know and do his Will: The Praise thereof is fixed sure, And shall for evermore endure.

O LORD our GOD! how great art thou!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #VIII (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God the coming of the Savior; Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 O LORD, our GOD! how great art thou! To whom all earthly Creatures bow; To thy unbounded Sway subjected: How great is through the World thy Fame! Oh! may thy ever glorious Name Be still, with Rev'rence due, respected. 2 In Heav'n thy wond'rous Acts are sung; The Angel's Voice and Cherub' Tongue, Are endless Songs for thee preparing: And yet thy Wisdom doth ordain, That Infants should in heav'nly Strain, Be still thy Praise with Joy declaring. 3 Through thee the weak confound the strong, And so thou quell'st the wicked Throng Who have in evil Ways persisted: Thy Pow'r shall crush thy haughty Foes, Who boldly dare thy Strength oppose, And have thy mighty Arm resisted. 4 When, in Amazement lost, I stand, And view the Wonders of thy Hand, The Heav'ns, thy holy Habitation; The radiant Moon, that rules the Night, And glitt'ring Stars of feebler Light, With all the Works of thy Creation; 5 LORD, what is Man! surpriz'd, I cry, That thou should'st thus his Wants supply, And take him under thy Protection! Or what his Offspring, prove so kind, To keep them ever in thy Mind, And guide them by thy sure Direction. Part II: 6 Him cloath'd with Pow'r thou didst create, And crown'd with Dignity and State, In high exalted Station placed; Ev'n next to thy caelestial Train; Thou gav'st him o'er all thy Works to reign. 7 For him the lowing Oxen toil, To make the Earth with Plenty smile, And give their Labours uncomplaining: The bleating Sheep their Fleeces yield: He rules the Creatures of the Field, And those in desart Wilds remaining. 8 To him thou hast in Mercy giv'n The Birds that mount the azure Heav'n, With out-stretch'd Wings the Air dividing: And all the Fish that thro' the Sea, Delight to cut their liquid Way, With glossy Fins for ever gliding. 9 O LORD, our LORD, how great art thou! Thou whom all earthly Creatures bow; To thy unbounded Sway subjected: How great is thro' the World thy Fame! Oh may thy ever glorious Name, Be still with Rev'rence due respected! Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English Tune Title: [O Lord, our God! how great art thou]

Sing to the LORD, a new made Song

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XCVI (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God the coming of the Savior; Songs of Praise to God his Majesty and Attributes Lyrics: 1 Sing to the LORD, a new made Song; Let Earth in one assembled Throng, Her common Patron's Praise resound, Who us hath with Salvation crown'd. 2 Sing to the LORD, and bless his Name, From Day to day his Peace proclaim; To Heathen Lands his Fame rehearse, His Wonders to the Universe. 3 He's great, and greatly to be prais'd; In Majesty and Glory rais'd Above all other Deities, He only rules who made the Skies. 4 With Majesty and Honour crown'd, Beauty and Strength his Throne surround, But Pageantry and Idols all Are they, whom Gods the Heathen call. 5 Let Worship be to him restor'd, By you who have false Gods ador'd; Ascribe due Honour to his Name, That Honour he alone can claim. 6 Peace Off'rings on his Altar lay, Before his Throne your Homage pay; To worship at his sacred Court, Let all the trembling World resort. 7 Proclaim aloud, JEHOVAH reigns, Whose Pow'r the Universe sustains; Let therefore Heav'n new Joys confess, And heav'nly Rapture Earth express. 8 He banish'd Justice shall restore, Its loud Applause let Ocean roar; Its mute Inhabitants rejoice, And for his Triumph find a Voice. 9 For Joy let fertile Valleys sing, The chearful Groves their Tribute bring; The tuneful Choir of Birds awake, Their sweetest Melody to make. 10 The LORD's Approach to celebrate: Who now sets out with awful State From Heav'n, to judge the World, he's come, With Justice to reward and doom. Scripture: Psalm 96 Languages: English Tune Title: [Sing to the Lord, a new made Song]

Oh! praise the LORD with Hymns of Joy

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXLVII (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 Oh! praise the LORD with Hymns of Joy, And celebrate his glorious Fame; For pleasant, good, and comely 'tis To sing loud Praises to his Name. His holy City GOD will build, Though levell'd even with the Ground, Bring back his People, though dispers'd Through all the Heathen Nations round. 2 He kindly heals the broken Hearts, And all their bleeding Wounds does close; He tells the Number of the Stars, Their sev'ral Names exactly knows; Great is the LORD, and great his Pow'r, His heav'nly Wisdom has no Bound; The Meek he raises, and throws down The haughty Wicked to the Ground. 3 To GOD, the LORD, a Hymn of Praise, With grateful Voices loudly sing; To Songs of Triumph tune the Harp, And touch with Skill each warbling String; He covers Heav'n with floating Clouds, And thence refreshing Rain bestows; Through him on lofty Mountain-Tops, The verdant Grass in Plenty grows. 4 He savage Beasts, that loosely range, With timely wholesome Food supplies; He feeds the Ravens tender Brood, And satisfies their hungry Cries. He values not the warlike Steed, But does his Strength disdain; The nimble Foot that swiftly runs, No Prize from him can gain. 5 But he to him that fears his Name, Mercy and tender Love extends; To him that on his boundless Grace With ever steadfast Hope depends. Let Sion and Jerusalem To GOD their constant Praise address, Who fenc'd their Gates with massy Brass, And does their num'rous Children bless. 6 Through all their Borders he gives Peace, With finest Flour of Wheat they're fed; He speaks the Word, and what he wills, Accomplish'd is as soon as said. Large Flakes of Snow, like fleecy Wool, Gently descends at this Command; And hoary Frost, like Ashes spread, Is plenteous scatter'd o'er the Land. 7 When join'd to these, he does his Hail These little icy Morsels send; Who can against his piercing Cold, Themselves sufficiently defend? He sends his Word, which melts the Ice, He makes the warmer Wind to blow, And soon the Streams, congeal'd before, Now thaw'd, in plenteous Currents flow. 8 By him his Statutes and Decrees To Jacob's Sons were plainly shown, And still to Israel's chosen Seed, He makes righteous Precepts known, No other Nations this can boast, Nor did he ever yet afford To Heathen Lands his Oracles, And Knowledge of his sacred Word. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh! praise the Lord with Hymns of Joy]

To GOD be endless Praise addressed

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXVIII (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God the coming of the Savior Lyrics: 1 To GOD be endless Praise addressed, Because his Mercies ne'er decay; That he hath us with Favour blessed, Let thankful Isr'el ever say: And for the Love he's still extedning, Let Aaron's House their Joy express; His Truth and Goodness never ending. Let all who fear the LORD confess. 2 My Soul to GOD her Pray'r addressed, Who graciously vouchsaf'd to hear; Since he relieves me, when oppressed, Why should I any Mortal fear? My Foes, no doubt, shall be disgraced, Since GOD declares himself my Friend; Our Hopes should all in him be placed, And not on human Pow'r depend. 3 Though many Nations, close combined, Did oftentimes beset me round; Yet I my Cause to him resigned, Who did their boasted Strength confound. They swarm'd like Bees, and me defied, Their Rage was like a short-liv'd Blaze; For, whilst on GOD I still relied, I overcame them all with Ease. 4 When they their utmost Force exerted, In hopes to see my sudden Fall; The LORD, who never me deserted, In Mercy sav'd me from them all. That I've escap'd from Tribulation, To him alone the Praise belongs; He is my Strength, and my Salvation; He is the Theme of all my Songs. 5 The Just, with Joy, are ever praising The LORD, who saves their souls from Harm; For wond'rous Things and Works amazing, Are done by his Almighty Arm. His strong Right Hand he hath extended, And never-fading Honours won; His strong Right Hand hath us defended, And most surprizing Wonders done. 6 Though Death draws nigh, my Soul dismaying, Yet GOD shall still prolong my Days; That I his mighty Works displaying, May thus advance his glorious Praise. When GOD, with heavy Hand correcting, My Soul of all her Joy bereaves; Ev'n then, his Mercy me protecting, From Death my fainting Life retrieves. 7 Then let the Gates be wide extended, The Gates, to which the Just repair, That I, whom GOD hath thus defended, May praise my great Deliv'rer there. With Footsteps to those Gates directed, To which in Crouds the Righteous press, Since thou hast heard, and me protected, Thy holy Name, O LORD, I'll bless. 8 That which the Builders once despised, Is now become the Corner-Stone; This Wonder, LORD, thou hast devised, This wond'rous Work is thine alone! This Day is GOD's, let Songs ascending To Heav'n, be sent from ev'ry Voice: LORD, be thy Arm our Cause defending, And make us still in thee rejoice. 9 Who trusts in GOD, to be supported, Ev'n him let all th' Assembly bless; We, who have to his House resorted, Do freely wish you good Success. GOD is the LORD, in whose Salvation, We all both Light and Comfort find; Fast to the Horns, with Adoration, The Altar's Horns, the Victim bind. 10 Thou art my GOD, and I with Pleasure, Will ever praise thy holy Name; Thou art my GOD, my soul's great Treasure, Therefore I'll celebrate thy Fame! Oh, to the LORD be Praise addressed, Who doth so kind and gracious prove; For us, his People, he hath blessed, And crown'd with never ending Love. Scripture: Psalm 118 Languages: English Tune Title: [To God be endless Praise addressed]

Let all the Just with one Consent

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXXIII (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 Let all the Just with one Consent, To GOD their chearful Voices raise; For well the Righteous it becomes To sing before him Songs of Praise. 2 Let Harps and Psalteries and Lutes At once in joyful Concert meet; And new-made Songs of loud Applause, The heav'nly Harmony complete. 3 For faithful is the Word of GOD, His wond'rous Works with Truth abound; He Justice loves, and all the Earth Is with his tender Mercy crown'd. 4 By his Almighty Word, at first, The glorious Arch of Heav'n was rear'd; And all the beauteous Hosts of Light, At his Command at once appear'd. 5 The swelling Floods, together roll'd, He makes in mountain Heaps to lie; And lays, as in a Store-house strong, His wat'ry Treasures safely by. 6 Let Earth, and all that dwell therein, Before his Presence trembling stand; For when he spake the Word, 'twas done, 'Twas fix'd by his supreme Command. 7 He, when the Heathen closely plot, Their secret Counsels undermines; His Wisdom ineffectual makes, The foolish Peopl'es rash Designs. 8 Whate'er the mighty LORD decrees, Shall doubtless stand for ever sure; The settled Purpose of his Heart To endless Ages shall endure. Part II 9 How happy then, are they, to whom The LORD supreme, for GOD is known; Whom he, from all the World besides, Has chosen out to be his own! 10 He all the Nations of the Earth, From Heav'n his lofty Throne surveys; He views their Works, and knows their Thoughts, For by his Pow'r their Hearts were made. 11 No King is safe by num'rous Hosts, Their boasted Strength the Strong deceives; No manag'd Horse by Force or Speed, His gallant war-like Rider saves. 12 'Tis GOD, who those that trust in him, Beholds with ever gracious Eyes; He frees their Souls from Death; their Wants, In Times of Famine, he supplies. 13 Our Souls on GOD with Patience, wait, Our Help and only Shield is he; Then, LORD, let still our Hearts rejoice, Because our Trust is plac'd in thee! 14 The Riches of thy Mercy, LORD,, To us, thy Servants still extend! As we, for all our various wants, On thee, our GOD, alone depend. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English Tune Title: [Let all the just with one consent]

Let GOD, the GOD of Battle, rise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXVIII (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God On bringing up the Ark to the Place prepared for it Lyrics: 1 Let GOD, the GOD of Battle, rise, And scatter his presumptuous Foes; Let shameful Rout their Host surprise, Who spitefully his Pow'r oppose. 2 As Smoke in Tempests Rage is lost, Or Wax into the Furnace cast; So let their sacrilegious Host, Before his wrathful Presence waste. 3 But let the Servants of his Will His Favour's gentle Beams enjoy; Their upright Hearts let Gladness fill, And chearful Songs their Tongues employ. 4 To him your Voice in Anthems raise; JEHOVAH's awful Name he bears: In him rejoice, extol his Praise, Who rides upon high-rolling Spheres. 5 Him, from his Empire of the Skies, To this low World Compassion draws, The Orphan's Claim to patronize, And judge the injur'd Widow's Cause. 6 'Tis GOD, who from a foreign Soil, Restores poor Exiles to their Home; Makes Captives free; and fruitless Toil, Their proud Oppressors righteous Doom. 7 'Twas so of old, when thou didst lead In Person, LORD, our Armies forth; Strange Terrors thro' the Desart spread, Convulsions shook th'astonish'd Earth. 8 The breaking Clouds did Rain distil, And Heav'n's high Arches shook with Fear, How then should Sinai's humble Hill, Of Israel's GOD, the Presence bear? 9 Thy Hand, at famish'd Earth's Complaint, Reliev'd her from celestial Stores; And, when thy Heritage was faint, Assuag'd the Drought with plenteous Show'rs. 10 Where Savages had rag'd before, At Ease thou mad'st our Tribes reside, And in the Desert, for the Poor Thy gen'rous Bounty did provide. Part II 11 Thou gav'st the Word, we sallied forth, And in that pow'rful Word o'ercame; Whilst Virgin-troops, with Songs of Mirth, In State our Conquests did proclaim. 12 Vast Armies, by such Gen'rals led, As yet had ne'er receiv'd a Foil, Forsook their Camp with sudden Dread, And to our Women left the Spoil. 13 Tho' Egypt's Drudges you have been, Your Army's Wings shall shine as bright As Doves in golden Sunshine seen, Or silver'd o'er with paler Light. 14 'Twas so, when GOD's almighty Hand O'er scatter'd Kings the Conquest won; Our Troops, drawn up on Jordan's Strand, High Salmon's glitt'ring Snow outshone. 15 From thence to Jordan's farther Coast, And Bashan's Hill, we did advance: No more her Height shall Bashan boast, But that she's GOD's Inheritance. 16 But wherefore (tho' the Honour's great) Should this, O Mountain, swell your Pride? For Sion is his chosen Seat, Where he forever will reside. 17 His Chariot's numberless; his Pow'rs Are heav'nly Hosts, that wait His Will; His Presence now fills Sion's Tow'rs, As once it honour'd Sinai's Hill. 18 Ascending high, in Triumph, thou Captivity hast Captive led; And on thy People didst bestow The Spoil of Armies, once their Dread. 19 Ev'n Rebels shall partake thy Grace, And humble Proselytes repair, To worship at thy Dwelling Place, And all the World pay Homage there. 20 For Benefits each Day bestow'd, Be daily his great Name ador'd; Who is our Saviour, and our GOD, Of Life and Death the Sov'reign LORD. 21 But Justice for His harden'd Foes, Proportion'd Vengeance hath decreed, To wound the hoary Head of those, Who in presumptuous Crimes proceed. 22 The LORD hath thus in Thunder spoke, "As I subdu'd prous Bashan's King, "Once more I'll break my People's Yoke, "And from the Deep my Servants bring: 23 "Their Feet shall with a crimson Flood "Of slaughter'd Foes be cover'd o'er; "Nor Earth receive such impious Blood, "But leave for Dogs th' unhallow'd Gore." Part III 24 When, marching to thy blest Abode, The wond'rous Multitude survey'd The pompous State of Thee, O GOD, In Robes of Majesty array'd. 25 Sweet-singing Levites led the Van, Loud Instruments brought up the Rear, Between both Troops, a Virgin Train With Voice and Timbrel charm'd the Ear. 26 This was the Burden of their Song, "In full Assemblies bless the LORD, "All who to Israel's Tribes belong, "The GOD of Israel's Praise record." 27 Nor little Benjamin alone From neighb'ring Bounds did there attend, Nor only Judah's nearer Throne, Her Counsellors in State did send. 28 But Zebulon's remoter Seat, And Napthli's more distant Coast, (The grand Procession to complete) Sent up their Tribes, a princely Host. 29 Thus GOD, to Strength and Union brought Our Tribes, at Strife till that blest Hour: This Work, which Thou, O GOD, hast wrought, Confirm with fresh Recruits of Pow'r. 30 To visit Salem, LORD, descend And Sion, thy terrestrial Throne; Where Kings with Presents shall attend, And Thee with offer'd Crowns attone. 31 Break down the Spear-Mens Ranks, who threat Like pamper'd Herds of savage Might, Their silver-armour'd Chiefs defeat, Who in destructive War delight. 32 Egypt shall then to GOD stretch forth Her Hands, and Afric Homage bring: 32 The scatter'd Kingdoms of the Earth, Their common Sov'reigns Praises sing; 33 Who, mounted on the loftiest Sphere Of antient Heav'n, sublimely rides; From whence his dreadful Voice we hear, Like that of warring Winds and Tides. 34 Ascribe the Pow'r to GOD most high; Of humble Israel he takes Care; Whose Strength, from out the dusky Sky, Darts shining Terrors thro' the Air. 35 How dreadful are the sacred Courts, Where GOD has fix'd his earthly Throne! His Strength his feeble Saints supports: Praise ye the LORD, our GOD alone. Scripture: Psalm 68 Languages: English Tune Title: [Let God, the God of Battle, rise]

To GOD your grateful Voices raise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CVII (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 To GOD your grateful Voices raise, Who does your Patron prove; And let your never ceasing Praise Attend his endless Love. Let those give Thanks, whom he from Bands Of haughty Foes releas'd; And brought them back from distant Lands, From North, South, West and East. 2 Through lonely desart Ways they went, Nor could a City find; 'Till quite with Thirst and Hunger spent, Their Souls within them pin'd. Then soon to GOD's indulgent Ear Did they their Cry address; Who graciously vouchsaf'd to hear, And freed them from Distress. 3 From crooked Paths he led them forth, And did their Footsteps guide; To wealthy Towns of great Resort, Where they were well supply'd. Oh then, that all the Earth, with me, Would GOD's great Mercy praise; And ALL the mighty Works, which he Throughout the World displays. 4 For he beholds the longing Souls, Their Wants he satisfies; The hungry Soul, e'en to the full, With Goodness he supplies. 10 Some lie, with Darkness compass'd round, In Death's tremendous Shade; And with unwieldy Fetters bound, By Cares more heavy made. 5 Because GOD's Counsel they defy'd, And lightly priz'd his Word, They fell, and were with Sorrows try'd, Where none could Help afford. Then soon to God's indulgent Ear They did their Cry address; Who graciously vouchsaf'd to hear, And freed them from Distress. 6 From dismal Dungeons, dark as Night, And Black as Death's Abode, He brought them forth, to chearful Light, And Liberty bestow'd. Oh then that all the Earth, with me Would GOD's great Mercy praise, And all the mighty Works, which he Throughout the World displays! 7 For he, with his Almighty Hand, The Gates in Pieces broke; Nor could the Bars of brass withstand, Or Steel resist his Stroke. Part II 8 Remorseless Wretches, void of Sense, With Boldness GOD defy; And for their multiply'd Offence, Oppress'd with sickness lie. Their Soul, a Prey to Pain and Fear, Abhors the choicest Meats; And they by faint Degrees draw near To Death's most dreadful Gates. 9 Then straight to GOD's indulgent Ear, They do their Cry address; Who graciously vouchsafes to hear, And free them from Distress. He all their sad Distempers heals, And Health and Safety gives; And when all human Succour fails, Their Souls from Death retrieves. 10 Oh then, that all the Earth, with me Would GOD's great Mercy praise; And all his wondrous Works, which he Throughout the World displays! With Off'rings let his Altar flame, Whilst they their Thanks express; And with loud Joy, his holy Name, For all his Wonders bless. Part III 13 They that in Ships, with Courage bold, Through Seas their Trade pursue, Do GOD's amazing Works behold, And fearful Wonders view. No sooner his Command is past, But forth the Tempest flies; Which sweeps the Sea with rapid Haste, And makes the Billows rise. 12 Sometimes the Ships, toss'd up to Heav'n, On Mountain Waves appear; Then down the steep Abyss are driv'n, Each Soul dissolves with Fear. They reel and stagger to and fro, Like Men with Wine oppress'd; Nor do the skilful Seamen know, Which Course to steer, is best. 14 Then straight to GOD's indulgent Ear They do their Cry address; Who graciously vouchsafes to hear, And free them from Distress. He does the raging Storm appease, And makes the Billows still; With Joy they see their Fury cease, Their Voyage they fulfil. 14 Oh then, that all the Earth, with me Would GOD's great Mercy praise, And all the mighty Works, which he Throughout the World displays! Let them, where all the Tribes resort, Advance his glorious Name, And in the Elders sov'reign Court, With Joy his Praise proclaim. Part IV 15 A fruitful Land, where Streams abound, GOD, if People sin, Will turn to dry and barren Ground, And punish those therein: The parch'd and desart Heath, he makes To smile springing Wells; Which for his Lot the Hungry takes, And in strong Cities dwells. 16 He sows the Fields, the Vineyard plants, Which all his Toil repay; Nor can, while GOD his Blessing grants, His Seed or Stock decay. But when his Sins Heav'n's Wrath provoke, His Substance fades away; He feels th'Oppressor's gauling Yoke, And falls to Grief a Prey. 17 The Prince that slights what GOD commands, Must quickly leave his Throne; And over wild and desart Lands Abandon'd stray alone. Whilst GOD from all afflicting Cares Sets humble Men on high; And makes in Time his num'rous Heirs With num'rous Flocks to vie. 18 Then Sinners shall have nought to say, The Just their Joy shall show; The Wise these strange Events shall weigh, And GOD's great Mercy know. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English Tune Title: [To God, your grateful voices raise]
