PSALM 111. First Part. (C. M.) The Wisdom of God in his Works.
I
Songs of immortal praise belongTo my almighty God;
He has my heart, and he my tongue
To spread his name abroad.
210
II
How great the works his hand has wrought!How glorious in our sight!
And men in every age have sought
His wonders with delight.
III
How most exact is nature's frame!How wise th'Eternal Mind!
His counsels never change the scheme
That his first thoughts design'd.
VI
When he redeem'd his chosen sons,He fix'd his covenant sure:
The orders that his lips pronounce
To endless years endure.
V
Nature and time, and earth and skies,Thy heavenly skill proclaim:
What shall we do to make us wise,
But learn to read thy name?
VI
To fear thy power, to trust thy graceIs our divinest skill;
And he's the wisest of our race
That best obeys thy will.
