Text: | We Give You Thanks, O God |
Tune: | SOUTHWELL |
Composer: | William Daman |
1 We give you thanks, O God,
because your name is near.
All speak of your majestic deeds;
your voice we also hear:
2 "I choose th'appointed time;
I judge with justice sure.
When earth and all its people quake,
its pillars I secure.
3 "'Boast not!' I tell the proud;
the wicked I address:
'Do not lift up your heads with pride,
or speak with haughtiness.'"
4 No one in all the earth
can truly give renown,
God is the judge; he raises one
and puts another down.
5 The LORD's hand holds a cup
with wine of pow'rful blend;
he pours it out, and wicked ones
must drink it to the end.
6 God's works I will proclaim,
and Jacob's God I'll praise.
The wicked's strength I will destroy;
the righteous I will raise.
