Psalms 117-118

Psalm 117 (2 of 3)

1 FROM all that dwell below the skies Let the Creator's praise arise, Let the Redeemer's name be sung Through every land, by every tongue.

2 Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord;

Eternal truth attends Thy word:

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore Till suns shall rise and set no more.

Isaac Watts, 1719.

Psalm 117 (3 of 3)

1 THY name, Almighty Lord! Shall sound through distant lands;

Great is Thy grace, and sure Thy word, Thy truth for ever stands.

2 Far be Thine honour spread, And long Thy praise endure, Till morning light and evening shade Shall be exchanged no more.

Isaac Watts, 1719

Psalm 118 (1 of 3)

1 TO Jehovah hymn the lay, Ever shall His love endure Oh let grateful Israel say, Stands His love for ever sure.

2 Oh let Aaron's house reply, Evermore His love shall last:

All, who fear Him, shout and cry, Stands His love for ever fast.

3 On the overliving name, In distress on JAH I cried:

JAH to my deliverance came, And my prison open'd wide.

4 See Jehovah near me stand!

What from mortal shall I dread?

See Jehovah lift the hand!

Victor on my foes I tread.

5 Hark! the voice of joy and song Echoes from the faithful seed; By His right hand firm and strong He hath done a mighty deed.

6 High Jehovah's hand is raised By the conquest He hath won: Be Jehovah's right hand praised!

He a mighty deed hath done.

Richard Mant, 1824.
