Whate'er he pleas'd in earth or sea, PSALM 135. Third Part. Third Part. C. M. Praise due to God alone. 1AWAKE, ye saints, to praise your King, Your sweetest passions raise; Your pious pleasure, while you sing, 2 Great is the Lord; and works unknown But still his saints are near his throne, 3 Heav'n, earth, and sea confess his hand; Lightning and storms at his command 4 All pow'r, that gods or kings have claim'd, Is found with him alone; But heathen gods 'should ne'er be nam'd Where our Jehovah's known. 5 0 Zion trust the living God,. Serve him with faith and fear; He makes thy courts his blest abode, PSALM 136. First Part. P. M. The wonders of Creation, Providence, and Redemption. 1 GIV The sov'reign King of kings; And be his grace ador'd. "His pow'r and grace are still the same; "And let his name have endless praise." 2 How mighty is his hand! What wonders hath he done! He form'd the earth and seas, And spread the heav'ns alone. "Thy mercy, Lord, shall still endure; "And ever sure abides thy word." 3 His wisdom fram'd the sun, To crown the day with light; The moon and twinkling stars, To cheer the darksome night. "His pow'r and grace are still the same; "And let his name have endless praise." 4 He smote the first born sons, The flow'r 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." 5 His pow'r and lifted rod Cleft the Red Sea in two; And for his people made A wondrous passage through. "His pow'r and grace are still the same; "And let his name have endless praise." 6 But cruel Pharaoh there, With all his host he drown'd, Thro' a long desert ground. Beneath his dreadful hand; "His pow'r and grace are still the same; "And let his name have endless praise." 8 He saw the nations lie 66 All perishing in sin; And pitied the sad state The ruin'd world was in. Thy mercy, Lord, shall still endure; "And ever sure abides thy word.” 9 He sent his only Son To save us from our woe, "His pow'r and grace are still the same; "And let his name have endless praise." 10 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. Second Part. L. M. Praise ye the Lord. LIVE to our God immortal praise; Mercy and truth are all his ways: Give to the Lord of lords renown, The King of kings with glory crown. 2 He built the earth, he spread the sky, And fix'd the starry lights on high: He fills the sun with morning light, He bids the moon direct the night. 3 The Jews he freed from Pharaoh's hand, And brought them to the promis'd land : He saw the Gentiles dead in sin, And felt his pity work within. 4 He sent his Son with pow'r to save From guilt, and darkness, and the grave: "Wonders of grace to God belong, Repeat his mercies in your song." 5 Thro' this vain world he guides our feet, And leads us to his heav'nly seat : "His mercies ever shall endure, "When this vain world shall be no more." PSALM 137. First Part. L, M. The sorrows of Israel in captivity. Y Babel's stream the captives sate, And wept for Zion's hapless fate : Useless, their harps on willows hung, While foes requir'd a sacred song. 2 With taunting voice, and scornful eye, Sing us a song of heav'n," they cry: "While foes deride our God, and King, "How can we tune our harps or sing ?" 3 "If Zion's woes our hearts forget, "Or cease to mourn for Israel's fate, "Let useful skill our hands forsake; "Our hearts with hopeless sorrow break." 4 "Thou, ruin'd Salem, to our eyes "Each day, in sad remembrance rise! "Should we e'er cease to feel thy wrongs, "Lost be our joys, and mute our tongues." 5 "Remember, Lord, proud Edom's sons, "Who cried, exulting at our groans, "While Salem trembled at her base, "Rase them: her deep foundations rase." 6 While thus they sung, the mourners view'd Their foes by Cyrus' arm subdu'd, And saw his glory rise, who spread Their streets, and fields, with hosts of dead. 7 Pleas'd, they foresaw, the blest decree, That set their tribes from bondage free; Renew'd the temple, and restor❜d The sacred worship of the Lord. 1L PSALM 137.
