498. God entitled to Praise.

[_]

Psalm cxiii.

1

Ye servants of the Lord,
Exalt your Maker's name;
Let all, with one accord,
His matchless power proclaim:
May we pursue the narrow way,
And, with the heart, our God obey!

2

Let all who with delight
Behold the sun appear,
Or when he sets in night,
The Lord, Jehovah, fear;
For great his might, and he is high,
Above the world, above the sky.

3

While heaven and earth endure,
Praise him in anthems loud;

403

He raiseth up the poor;
He putteth down the proud:
Himself he humbleth to survey
The bright adoring sons of day.

4

O, come and spread abroad,
To all the nations round,
The greatness of our God,
With strength and glory crown'd:
Praise Him, the source of light and love,
Responsive to the saints above!
