Hymn 219

by Benjamin Keach 1640–1704

From Spiritual Melody (1691), Part IX

Religion

GIve laud unto the Lord,
And praise his holy Name;
His Praises still record,
And spread abroad his Fame,
Ye that resort
To our great God, and have abode
In Sions Court.

His Honour, O proclaim,
For good and kind he is;
Sing Praises to his Name,
A pleasant work it is:
Jacob hath he
Chose to himself, and all his Wealth
Must Israel be.

And this I clearly know
The Lord's a mighty One,
And that all Gods do owe
Subjection to his Throne;
For he brings forth
Whatever he please, in Deeps, in Seas,
In Heaven and Earth.
