The Praises of Thy Wonders, Lord
from Psalm 89
The Book of Psalms, 1886
BISHOPTHORPE (C.M.)
Jeremiah Clarke
(1670-1707)
The prais-es of Thy won-ders, Lord,
The heav-ens shall ex-press;
And in the con-gre-ga-tion
Of saints Thy faith-ful-ness.
Thou hast an arm that's full of power;
Thy hand is great in might;
And Thy right hand ex-ceed-ing-ly
Ex-alt-ed is in height.
Jus-tice and judg-ment of Thy throne
Are made the dwell-ing place;
Mer-cy, ac-com-pa-nied with truth,
Shall go be-fore Thy face.
O great-ly blessed the peo-ple are
The joy-ful sound that know;
In bright-ness of Thy face, O Lord,
They ev-er on shall go.
Be-cause the glo-ry of their strength
Doth on-ly stand in Thee;
And in Thy fa-vor shall our horn
And power ex-alt-ed be.
For God is our de-fense; and He
To us doth safe-ty bring;
The Ho-ly One of Is-ra-el
Is our al-might-y King.
