Praise the Lord, for he is kind,
For his mercies ay indure,
Ever faithful, ever fure.
Let us blaze his name abroad,
For of Gods he is the God;
For his &c.

O let us his praises tell,

Who doth the wrathful tyrants quell.

For his &c.

Who with his miracles doth make
Amazed Heav'n and Earth to shake.
For his &c.

Who by his wifdom did create
The painted Heav'ns so full of state.
For his &c.

Who did the folid earth ordain
To rise above the watry plain:

For his &c.

Who by his all-commanding might
Did fill the new-made world with light.
For his &c.

And caus'd the golden-treffed fun,
All the day long his course to run.
For his &c.

The horned moon to fhine by night,
Amongst her fpangled fifters bright.
For his &c.

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

And in defpite of Pharao fell,
He brought from thence his Ifrael.
For his &c.

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

For his &c.

The floods stood ftill like walls of glass,
While the Hebrew bands did pafs.
For his &c.

But full foon they did devour
The tawny king with all his power.
For his &c.

His chofen people he did bless
In the wafteful wilderness.

For his &c.

In bloody battel he brought down
Kings of prowess and renown.
For his &c.

He foil'd bold Seon and his hoft,
That rul'd the Amorrean coast.

For his &c.

And large-limb'd Og he did fubdue,
With all his over-hardy crew.
For his &c.

And to his fervant Ifrael

He gave their land therein to dwell.

For his &c.

He hath with a piteous eye
Beheld us in our mifery.

For his &c.

And freed us from the flavery
Of the invading enemy.

For his &c.

All living creatures he doth feed,
And with full hand supplies their need.
For his &c,

His mighty majefty and worth.

Above the reach of mortal eye.
For his mercies ay indure,
Ever faithful, ever fure.
