Egyptian spoils supplied their need, 2 The Lord himself chose out their way, 3 They thirst and waters from the rock In rich abundance flow; And foll'wing still the course they took, 4 O wondrous stream! O blessed type Of everflowing grace ! So Christ our rock maintains our life, 5 Thus guarded by th' Almighty's hand, 1 PSALM 106. First Part. L. M. O God the great, the ever blest, Give him the thanks his love demands. And with the same salvation bless The meanest suppliant of thy grace. 4 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. 1 PSALM 106. Second Part. S. M. The unchangeable love of God. G How fickle are our ways! And yet how oft did Israel prove 2 They saw thy wonders wrought, 4 Yet when they mourn'd their faults, He hearken'd to their groans ; Brought his own cov'nant to his thoughts, And call'd them still his sons. 5 Their names were in his book; He sav'd them from their foes: Oft he chastis'd, but ne'er forsook The people that he chose. 6 Let Israel bless the Lord, Who lov'd their ancient race; And Christians join the solemn word, Amen, to all their praise. I PSALM 107. First Part. L. M. Israel led to Canaan, and Christians to heaven. G Kind are IVE thanks to God; he reigns above; His mercy ages past have known, And ages long to come shall own. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord The wonders of his grace record; Israel, the nation whom he chose, And rescued from their mighty foes. 3 In their distress to God they cried, God was their Saviour and their guide; He led their march far wand'ring round: 'Twas the right path to Canaan's ground. 4 Thus when our first release we gain From sin's old yoke and Satan's chain, We have this desert world to pass, A dang'rous and a tiresome place. 5 He feeds and clothes us all the way, He guides our footsteps lest we stray; He guards us with a pow'rful hand, And brings us to the heav'nly land. 6 O let the saints with joy record The truth and goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let ev'ry tongue pronounce his praise. 1 FR PSALM 107. Second Part. L. M. If they reject his heav'nly word, Laden with grief they waste their breath And lets the smiling pris'ners through; 1 The wondrous goodness of the Lord! PSALM 107. Third Part. L. M. VAIN man on foolish pleasures bent, 2 The drunkard feels his vitals waste, 3 The glutton groans, and loathes to eat; He hears their groans; prolongs their breath; And saves them from approaching death. 5 No med'cines could effect the cure So quick, so easy, or so sure: The deadly sentence God repeals, He sends his sov'reign word and heals. 6 O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! PSALM 107. Fourth Part. C. M. 1 HY works of glory, mighty Lord, T Thy wonders in the deeps, The sons of courage shall record, 2 At thy command the winds arise, 3 Frighted to hear the tempest roar, 4 Then to the Lord they raise their cries, 5 Sailors rejoice to lose their fears, Now to their eyes the port appears; 6 'Tis God that brings them safe to land |
