My Soul, Repeat His Praise

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 468 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise, Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when His wrath is felt, His strokes are few than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His power subdues our sins; And His forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove. 5 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 6 But Thy compassions, Lord, Top endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure. Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: BARNBY'S HYMNARY, TUNE 525

The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain. God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain.. Amen.
