PSALM 111. Second Part. (C. M.) The Perfections of God.

I

Great is the Lord; his works of might
Demand our noblest songs;
Let his assembled saints unite
Their harmony of tongues.

II

Great is the mercy of the Lord,
He gives his children food;
And ever mindful of his word,
He makes his promise good.

III

His Son, the great Redeemer, came
To seal his covenant sure:
Holy and reverend is his name,
His ways are just and pure.

IV

They that would grow divinely wise
Must with his fear begin;
Our fairest proof of knowledge lies
In hating every sin.
