Psalm 107, Part 5

But if again, by sin brought low,
They feel the weight of penal woe,
Minish'd, afflicted, and oppress'd,
He chastens princes for their pride,
And leaves His own in deserts wide
To wander on, and want His rest.

2 4 Yet when beneath His wrath they stoop,
He lifts the humbled sinners up;

Revives and cheers His abject poor;
He dries the tears of all that weep,
And gathers home His scatter'd sheep,
And bids them to the end endure.

The righteous shall observe and praise
His judgments, and His works of grace,
His humbling and restoring power;
While all that dared their God gainsay.
Shall wonder, fear, and melt away,
And charge His providence no more.

But he that, to salvation wise,
To things Divine his heart applies,
The hidden mystery shall prove;
That love of Christ which knows no end
He with all saints shall comprehend,
That utmost height of Jesu's love!
