Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #174 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise
Your hearts and voices in His praise;
His nature and His works invite
To make this duty our delight.
2 He formed the stars, those heavenly flames,
He counts their numbers, calls their names;
His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound,
A deep where all our thoughts are drowned.
3 Sing to the Lord; exalt Him high,
Who spreads His clouds along the sky;
There He prepares the fruitful rain,
Nor lets the drops descend in vain.
4 He makes the grass the hills adorn,
And clothes the smiling fields with corn;
The beasts with food His hands supply,
And the young ravens when they cry.
5 What is the creature's skill or force?
The sprightly man, or warlike horse?
The piercing wit, the active limb?
All are too mean delights for Him.
6 But saints are lovely in His sight,
He views His children with delight;
He sees their hope, He knows their fear,
And looks and loves His image there. Topics: The Godhead Creation and Providence; Creation By God; Works of God ; Providence; Praise Unceasing; God Works of; Starry Heavens Languages: English Tune Title: ZEUNER'S CHANT
