Psalm 107, Part 1
From Versions and Paraphrases of Select Psalms · Osborn ed., vol. 8 (1870)
O Ye that know the pardoning Lord,
His everlasting love record,
Give thanks, and glory in His grace!
Gather'd by Jesus from all lands,
Redeem'd from sin and Satan's hands.
Your merciful Redeemer praise:
Ere yet on Christ their souls were stay'd,
O'er the wide wilderness they stray'd,
The world of sin they wander'd round;
Parch'd up with thirst, and pined with want,
Weary, and comfortless, and faint.
They no abiding city found.
To God they in their trouble cried.
And kindly He their want supplied,
And saved them from their sore distress;
Himself the living way He show'd,
Led them from all their sins to God,
And bade them dwell in perfect peace.
O that the world would therefore praise
The Lord, the God of boundless grace,
Whose love in all His works is seen!
With joyful lips confess His power.
And ever feel, proclaim, adore
His wonders towards the sons of men!
