PSALM 106. v. 1–5. First Part. (L. M.) Praise to God; or, Communion with Saints.

I

To God the great, the ever blest,
Let songs of honour be addrest:
His mercy firm forever stands;
Give him the thanks his love demands.

206

II

Who knows the wonders of thy ways?
Who shall fulfil thy boundless praise?
Blest are the souls that fear thee still,
And pay their duty to thy will.

III

Remember what thy mercy did
For Jacob's race, thy chosen seed;
And with the same salvation bless
The meanest suppliant of thy grace.

IV

O may I see thy tribes rejoice,
And aid their triumphs with my voice!
This is my glory, Lord, to be
Join'd to thy saints, and near to thee.
