Ye servants of your God, his fame
In songs of highest praise proclaim;
Ye who, on his commands intent,
The courts of Israel's Lord frequent.
Him praise—the everlasting King,
And mercy's unexhausted spring:
Haste, to his name your voices rear;
What name like his the heart can cheer?
Thy greatness, Lord, my thoughts attest,
With awful gratitude imprest,
Nor know, among the seats divine,
A power that shall contend with thine.
O thou, whose all-disposing sway
The heavens, the earth, and seas obey;
Whose might through all extent extends,
Sinks through all depth, all height transcends;
From earth's low margin to the skies,
Now, bids the pregnant vapour rise;
The lightning's pallid sheet expands;
And glads with showers the furrowed lands;
Now, from thy storehouse, built on high,
Permits the imprisoned winds to fly,
And, guided by thy will, to sweep
The surface of the foaming deep:
Him praise—the everlasting King
And mercy's unexhausted spring:
Haste, to his name your voices rear:
What name like his the heart can cheer?
