PSALM CXXXVI.
O to God your thanks repay,
For most gracious is his sway,
And his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
For most gracious is his sway,
And his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
O give thanks to God, which claims
Homage from all pow'rs and names;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Homage from all pow'rs and names;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
O the thanks and praise restore,
And the Lord of lords adore;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
And the Lord of lords adore;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
140
Which alone at once conceives,
And the wond'rous works atchieves;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
And the wond'rous works atchieves;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Whose transcendent skill so high
Arch'd the cov'ring of the sky;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Arch'd the cov'ring of the sky;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Which the pregnant earth has spread
O'er the waters purer bed;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
O'er the waters purer bed;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Which hath fashion'd and renew'd
Lights of glorious magnitude;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Lights of glorious magnitude;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
First the sun of genial beam,
O'er laborious day supreme;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
O'er laborious day supreme;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Then the stars and lunar light
O'er the perils of the night;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
O'er the perils of the night;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Egypt, that his pow'r defy'd,
He destroy'd, their prince and pride;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
He destroy'd, their prince and pride;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
And brought Israel from his chain
In the midst of their domain;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
In the midst of their domain;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
With the trumpet and alarm,
Mighty hand, and stretch'd-out arm;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Mighty hand, and stretch'd-out arm;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Which the Red-Sea right and left
Into wide partitions cleft;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Into wide partitions cleft;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
And made all his people pass
Safely thro' the liquid mass;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Safely thro' the liquid mass;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
But king Pharaoh and his slaves
Perish'd in the whelming waves;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Perish'd in the whelming waves;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Which in most stupendous sort
Could his tribes through wilds escort;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Could his tribes through wilds escort;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Which in indignation smote
Kings of most especial note;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Kings of most especial note;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Yea, encount'ring, overcame
Kings of memorable name;
For his mercy, since the fall
Is for ever and for all.
Kings of memorable name;
For his mercy, since the fall
Is for ever and for all.
Sihon royally array'd,
Whom fierce Amorites obey'd;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Whom fierce Amorites obey'd;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
With gigantic Og, the boast
And the hope of Bashan's host;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
And the hope of Bashan's host;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
And their realms upon the spot
Gave for heritage by lot;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Gave for heritage by lot;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
E'en an heritage in lands
To his own victorious bands;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
To his own victorious bands;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Which remember'd us and bless'd,
When our tribes were sore oppress'd;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
When our tribes were sore oppress'd;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
141
And aveng'd our righteous cause
From blasphemers of his laws;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
From blasphemers of his laws;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Which is provident to give
Food for all that breathe and live;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Food for all that breathe and live;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
O give thanks to God alone,
Which has made the heav'n his throne;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
Which has made the heav'n his throne;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
O with thankful rev'rence bow,
And the Lord of lords avow;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
And the Lord of lords avow;
For his mercy, since the fall,
Is for ever and for all.
