O render Thanks to God above

Appears in 232 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 106 Lyrics: 1 O render Thanks to God above, The Fountain of eternal Love; Whose Mercy firm through Ages past Has stood, and shall for ever last. 2 Who can His mighty Deeds express, Not only vast, but numberless? What mortal Eloquence can raise His Tribute of immortal Praise? 3 Happy are they, and only they, Who from thy Judgments never stray: Who know what's right; nor only so, But always practice what they know. 4 Extend to me that Favour, Lord, Thou to thy Chosen do'st afford; When Thou return'st to set them free, Let thy Salvation visit me. 5 O may I worthy prove to see Thy Saints in full Prosperity: That I the joyful Choir may join, And count thy People's Triumph mine. 6 But ah! can we expect such Grace, Of Parents vile, the viler Race; Who their Misdeeds have acted o'er, And with new Crimes increas'd the Score? 7 Ingrateful, they no longer thought On all his works in Egypt wrought; The Red Sea they no sooner view'd, But they their base Distrust renew'd. 8 Yet he, to vindicate his Name, Once more to their Deliv'rance came, To make his sov'reign Pow'r be known, That he is God, and he alone. 9 To Right and Left, at his Command, The prating Deep disclos'd her Sand; Where firm and dry the passage lay, As through some parch'd and desart Way. 10 Thus rescu'd from their Foes they were, Who closely press'd upon their Rear, 11 Whose Rage pursu'd 'em to those Waves, That prov'd the rash Pursuers Graves. 12 The Watry Mountains sudden Fall O'erwhelm'd proud Pharaoh, Host and all. This Proof did stupid Isr'el move To own God's Truth, and praise his Love. Part II 13 But soon these Wonders they forgot, And for his Counsel waited not; 14 But lusting in the Wilderness, Did him with fresh Temptations press. 15 Strong Food at their Request he sent, But made their Sin their Punishment. 16 Yet still his Saints they did oppose, The priest and Prophet whom he chose. 17 But Earth, the Quarrel to decide, Her vengeful Jaws extended wide, Rash Dathan to her Centre drew, With proud Abiram's factious Crew. 18 The rest of those who did conspire To kindle wild Sedition's Fire, With all their impious Train, became A Prey to Heav'n's devouring Flame. 19 Near Horeb's Mount, a Calf they made, And to the molten Image pray'd; 20 Adoring what their hands did frame, They chang'd their Glory to their Shame. 21 Their God and Saviour they forgot, And all his works in Egypt wrought; 22 His Signs in Ham's astonish'd Coast, and where proud Pharaoh's Troops were lost. 23 Thus urg'd, his vengeful Hand he rear'd, But Moses in the Breach appear'd; The Saint did for the Rebels pray, And turn'd Heav'n's kindled Wrath away. 24,25 Yet they his pleasant Land despis'd, Nor his repeated promise priz'd, Nor did th' Almighty's Voice obey' But when God said, Go up, would stay. 26,27 This seal'd their Doom, without Redress To perish in the Wilderness; Or else to be by Heathen Hands O'erthrown and scatter'd thro' the Lands. Part III 28 Yet unreclaim'd, this stubborn Race Baal Peor's Worship did embrace; Became his impious Guests, and fed On Sacrifices to the Dead. 29 Thus they perished to provoke God's Vengeance to the final Stroke. 'Tis come:--the deadly Pest is come To execute their gen'ral Doom 30 But Phineas fir'd with holy Rage, (Th' Almighty Vengeance to assuage) Did, by two bold offenders Fall, Th' Atonement make that ransom'd All. 31 As him a Heav'nly Zeal had mov'd, So Heav'n the zealous Act approv'd; To him confirming, and his Race, The Priesthood he so well did grace. 32 At Meribah God's Wrath they mov'd, Who Moses for their sakes reprov'd; 33 Whose patient Soul they did provoke, 'Till rashly the meek Prophet spoke. 34 Nor when possess'd of Canaan's land, Did they perform their Lord's Command, Nor his commission'd Sword employ The guilty Nations to destroy. 35 Nor only spar'd the pagan Crew, But mingling learnt their Vices too; 36 And worship to those Idols paid, Which them to fatal Snares betray'd. 37,38 To Devils they did sacrifice Their Children with relentless Eyes; Approach'd their Altars thro' a Flood Of their own Sons and Daughters Blood. No cheaper Victims would appease Canaan's remorseless Deities; No Blood her Idols reconcile, But that which did the Land defile. Part IV 39 Nor did these savage Cruelties The hardn'd Reprobates suffice; For after their Hearts Lusts they went, And daily did new Crimes invent. 40 But sins of such infernal Hue God's Wrath against his People drew, 'Till he, their once indulgent Lord, His own Inheritance abhor'd. 41 He them defenceless did expose To their insulting heathen Foes; And made them on the Triumphs wait, Of those who bare them greatest Hate. 42 Nor thus his Indignation ceas'd; Their List of Tyrants he increas'd, 'Till they, who God's mild Sway declin'd, Were made the Vassals of mankind. 43 Yet, when distress'd, they did repent, His Anger did as oft relent: But freed, they did his Wrath provoke, Renew'd their Sins, and he their Yoke. 44 Nor yet implacable he prov'd, Nor heard their wretched Cries unmov'd; 45 But did to mind his promise bring, And Mercy's inexhausted Spring. 46 Compassion too he did impart, Ev'n to their Foes obdurate Heart, And Pity for their Suff'rings bred In those who them to Bondage led. 47 Still save us, lord, and Isr'el's Bands Together bring from Heathen lands; So to thy Name our Thanks we'll raise, And ever triumph in thy Praise. 48 Let Isr'el's God be ever bless'd, His Name eternally confess'd: Let all His saints, with full Accord, Sing loud Amen.--Praise ye the Lord.

Psalm 106: Give praise and thanks unto the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 106 First Line: Give praise and thanks unto the Lord Lyrics: 1Give praise and thanks unto the Lord, for bountiful is he; His tender mercy doth endure unto eternity. 2God’s mighty works who can express? or shew forth all his praise? 3Blessed are they that judgment keep, and justly do always. 4Remember me, Lord, with that love which thou to thine dost bear; With thy salvation, O my God, to visit me draw near: 5That I thy chosen’s good may see, and in their joy rejoice; And may with thine inheritance triumph with cheerful voice. 6We with our fathers sinned have, and of iniquity Too long we have the workers been; we have done wickedly. 7The wonders great, which thou, O Lord, didst work in Egypt land, Our fathers, though they saw, yet them they did not understand: And they thy mercies’ multitude kept not in memory; But at the sea, ev’n the Red sea, provok’d him grievously. 8Nevertheless he saved them, ev’n for his own name’s sake; That so he might to be well known his mighty power make. 9When he the Red sea did rebuke, then dried up it was: Through depths, as through the wilderness, he safely made them pass. 10From hands of those that hated them he did his people save; And from the en’my’s cruel hand to them redemption gave. 11The waters overwhelm’d their foes; not one was left alive. 12Then they believ’d his word, and praise to him in songs did give. 13But soon did they his mighty works forget unthankfully, And on his counsel and his will did not wait patiently; 14But much did lust in wilderness, and God in desert tempt. 15He gave them what they sought, but to their soul he leanness sent. 16And against Moses in the camp their envy did appear; At Aaron they, the saint of God, envious also were. 17Therefore the earth did open wide, and Dathan did devour, And all Abiram’s company did cover in that hour. 18Likewise among their company a fire was kindled then; And so the hot consuming flame burnt up these wicked men. 19Upon the hill of Horeb they an idol-calf did frame, A molten image they did make, and worshipped the same. 20And thus their glory, and their God, most vainly changed they Into the likeness of an ox that eateth grass or hay. 21They did forget the mighty God, that had their saviour been, By whom such great things brought to pass they had in Egypt seen. 22In Ham’s land he did wondrous works, things terrible did he, When he his mighty hand and arm stretch’d out at the Red sea. 23Then said he, He would them destroy, had not, his wrath to stay, His chosen Moses stood in breach, that them he should not slay. 24Yea, they despis’d the pleasant land, believed not his word: 25But in their tents they murmured, not heark’ning to the Lord. 26Therefore in desert them to slay he lifted up his hand: 27’Mong nations to o’erthrow their seed, and scatter in each land. 28They unto Baal-peor did themselves associate; The sacrifices of the dead they did profanely eat. 29Thus, by their lewd inventions, they did provoke his ire; And then upon them suddenly the plague brake in as fire. 30Then Phin’has rose, and justice did, and so the plague did cease; 31That to all ages counted was to him for righteousness. 32And at the waters, where they strove, they did him angry make, In such sort, that it fared ill with Moses for their sake: 33Because they there his spirit meek provoked bitterly, So that he utter’d with his lips words unadvisedly. 34Nor, as the Lord commanded them, did they the nations slay: 35But with the heathen mingled were, and learn’d of them their way. 36And they their idols serv’d, which did a snare unto them turn. 37Their sons and daughters they to dev’ls in sacrifice did burn. 38In their own children’s guiltless blood their hands they did imbrue, Whom to Canaan’s idols they for sacrifices slew: So was the land defil’d with blood. 39They stain’d with their own way, And with their own inventions a whoring they did stray. 40Against his people kindled was the wrath of God therefore, Insomuch that he did his own inheritance abhor. 41He gave them to the heathen’s hand; their foes did them command. 42Their en’mies them oppress’d, they were made subject to their hand. 43He many times deliver’d them; but with their counsel so They him provok’d, that for their sin they were brought very low. 44Yet their affliction he beheld, when he did hear their cry: 45And he for them his covenant did call to memory; After his mercies’ multitude 46he did repent: And made Them to be pity’d of all those who did them captive lead. 47O Lord our God, us save, and gather the heathen from among, That we thy holy name may praise in a triumphant song. 48Bless’d be Jehovah, Isr’el’s God, to all eternity: Let all the people say, Amen. Praise to the Lord give ye.
