Religion

Psalm 114

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Versions and Paraphrases of Select Psalms · Osborn ed., vol. 8 (1870)

Religion

God on us His grace bestow,
His freely-pardoning grace;
Bless us from our sins, and show
The brightness of His face!
Let Thy way on earth be shown;
Thee let every sinner find,
Make the great salvation known
To us, and all mankind.

Let the people praise Thee, Lord,
The God of truth and grace;
Thee, the everlasting Word,
Let all the people praise!
Ogive thanks, rejoice, and sing,
Every creature under heaven;
Let them triumph in their King,
And shout their sins forgiven.

Thou shalt judge the nations right,
Thy equal sway maintain;
Rule them by Thy mercy's might,
And bless them by Thy reign.
Let the people praise Thee, Lord,
Thee, the God of truth and grace!
Thee, the everlasting Word,
Let all the nations praise!

Then to perfect holiness
The earth her fruit shall have;
God, our God, His saints shall bless,
And to the utmost save.
God shall perfect us in one;
Then the world their Lord shall see,
Thee the nations all shall own,
And give their hearts to Thee.
