The Lord does them support that fall,
and makes the prostrate rise;
For his kind aid all creatures call,
who timely food supplies.
What'er their various wants require,
with open hand he gives;
And so fulfils the just desire
of ev'ry thing that lives.
How holy is the Lord, how just,
how righteous all his ways!
How night o him, who with firm trust
for his assistance prays!
He grants the full desires of those
who him with fear adore;
And will their troubles soon compose,
when they his aid implore.
The Lord preserves all those with care
whom grateful love employs;
But sinners, who his vengeance dare,
with furious rage destroys.
My time to come, in praises spend,
shall still advance his fame,
And all mankind, with one consent,
for ever bless his name.
