HYMN 585. Variety of Providences prai∣sed. 2. METRE.
Give laud, &c.
Psalm 147.1.
GIVE laud unto the Lord,it is a pleasant thing,His praises to record,and his sweet songs to sing:who on a rock,His Church erects, and recollectshis scatter'd flock.
He heals the heart contrite,and binds up all their wounds:He tells the Stars of lightwhose number so abounds.and he can callEach shining flame of them by name,he knows them all.
descriptionPage 703
Great is this God of ours,yea most exceeding great:His power above all powers,and hath the sovereign seat.and as his might,So likewise his pure wisedom ismost infinite.
The Lord lifts up the meek,the wicked throws to ground:Praise him with songs most sweet,and harps harmonious sound.the Heav'ns he fillsWith Clouds for showers, makes Grass and flowersto grow on hills.
The beasts and ravens younghe feedeth when they call:In horse, or Champion stronghe joyeth not at all.but God aboveDelights in them that fear his Name,and trust in's love.
