1 WITH one consent let all the earth To God their cheerful voices raise; Glad homage pay with awful mirth, And sing before him songs of praise; 2 Convinced that he is God alone, From whom both we and all proceed; We whom he chooses for his own, The flock that he vouchsafes to feed. 3 0 enter then his temple gate, Thence to his courts devoutly press; And still your grateful hymns repeat, And still his Name with praises bless. 4 For he's the LORD, supremely good, His mercy is for ever sure; His truth, which always firmly stood, PSALM 80. From the cii. Psalm of David. PART I. C. M. 1 WHEN I pour out my soul in prayer, 2 0 hide not thou thy glorious face Incline thine ear, and, when I call, 3 My days, just hast'ning to their end, 4 But thine eternal state, O LORD, PART II. C. M. 1 GOD shall arise, and Sion view With an unclouded face: For now her time is come, his own 2 The name and glory of the LORD 3 For GoD, from his abode on high, The LORD from heaven, his lofty throne, 4 That they, in Sion, where he dwells, PART III. C. M. 1 THE strong foundations of the earth Thy hands, O LORD, the arch of heaven 2 Whilst thou for ever shalt endure, 3 Like that, when thou ordain'st their change, To thy command they bend; But thou continu'st still the same, Nor have thy years an end. 4 Thou to the children of thy saints 1 MY soul, inspired with sacred love, 2 'Tis he that all thy sins forgives, And after sickness makes thee sound; From danger he thy life retrieves, By him with grace and mercy crown'd. 3 He with good things thy mouth supplies, Thy vigor eagle-like restores; He to the suff'rer promptly flies, Who, wrong'd, his righteous help implores. 4 The LORD abounds with tender love, 5 God will not always harshly chide, So much his boundless love transcends 7 As far as 't is from east to west, So far has he our sins removed; GOD's faithful mercy ever lasts To those that fear him, and their race. 10 This shall attend on such as still 11 The LORD, the universal King, In heaven has fix'd his lofty throne: To him, ye angels, praises sing, In whose great strength his power is shown. 12 Ye that his just commands obey, And hear and do his sacred will, 13 Let every creature jointly bless The mighty LORD; and thou, my heart, 4 He feeds thee with his love, Upholds thee with his truth; 5 Then bless the LORD, my soul, PSALM 83. From the civ. Psalm of David, PART I. L. M. 1 BLESS GOD, my soul; thou, LORD, alone 2 With light thou dost thyself enrobe, 3 GOD builds on liquid air, and forms My breath, I will that breath employ; PART II. L. M. 1 How various, LORD, thy works are found, 2 All creatures, both of sea and land, In sense of common want agree; All wait on thy dispensing hand, And have their daily alms from thee. 3 They gather what thy stores disperse, Without their trouble to provide ; Thou op'st thy hand, the universe, 'The craving world, is all supplied. 4 Thou for a moment hid'st thy face, The num'rous ranks of creatures mourn; Thou tak'st their breath, all nature's race Decay, and to their dust return. 5 Again thou send'st thy spirit forth, Nature 's restored; replenish'd earth, 6 Thus through successive ages stands From the civ. Psalm of David. 1 HOW manifold thy works, O LORD, In wisdom, power, and goodness wrought! The earth is with thy riches stored, And ocean with thy wonders fraught: Hide but thy face, their comforts fly; Take thou away their breath, they die; 3 Joy in his works JEHOVAH takes, He looks upon the earth, it quakes, Glory to his eternal Name! 1 O RENDER thanks, and bless the LORD, Acquaint the nations with his deeds, 2 Sing to his praise in lofty hymns, 3 Rejoice in his almighty Name, Alone to be adored; And let their hearts o'erflow with joy 4 Seek ye the LORD, his saving strength And, where he 's ever present, seek 5 The wonders that his hands have wrought Keep thankfully in mind; The righteous statutes of his mouth, |
