Oh, let us his praises tell,

Who doth the wrathful tyrants quell;

For his, &c.

Who, with his miracles, doth make
Amazed heaven and earth to shake:
For his, &c.

Who, by his wisdom, did create
The painted heavens so full of state;
For his, &c.

Who did the solid earth ordain

To rise above the watery plain;

For his, &c.

Who, by his all-commanding might,
Did fill the new-made world with light;

For his, &c.

And caused the golden-tressed sun
All the day long his course to run;
For his, &c.

The horned moon to shine by night,
Amongst her spangled sisters bright;
For his, &c.

He, with his thunder-clasping hand,
Smote the first-born of Egypt land;
For his, &c.

And, in despite of Pharaoh fell,

He brought from thence his Israel;

For his, &c.

The ruddy waves he cleft in twain
Of the Erythræan main;

For his, &c.

The floods stood still, like walls of glass While the Hebrew bands did pass;

For his, &c.

But full soon they did devour

The tawny king with all his power;

For his, &c.

His chosen people he did bless
In the wasteful wilderness;
For his, &c.

In bloody battle he brought down
Kings of prowess and renown;
For his, &c.

He foil'd bold Seon and his host,
That ruled the Amorrean coast;
For his, &c.

And large-limb'd Og he did subdue,
With all his over-hardy crew;

For his, &c.

And, to his servant Israel,

He gave their land therein to dwell;

For his, &c.

He hath, with a piteous eye,

Beheld us in our misery;

For his, &c.

- And freed us from the slavery

Of the invading enemy;

For his, &c.

All living creatures he doth feed,

And with full hand supplies their need;

For his, &c.

Let us, therefore, warble forth His mighty majesty and worth; For his, &c.

That his mansion hath on high, Above the reach of mortal eye; For his mercies aye endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.
