Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65 First Line: Praise waits for thee in Sion, Lord: Lyrics: 1Praise waits for thee in Sion, Lord: to thee vows paid shall be. 2O thou that hearer art of pray’r, all flesh shall come to thee. 3Iniquities, I must confess, prevail against me do: But as for our transgressions, them purge away shalt thou. 4Bless’d is the man whom thou dost chuse, and mak’st approach to thee, That he within thy courts, O Lord, may still a dweller be: We surely shall be satisfy’d with thy abundant grace, And with the goodness of thy house, ev’n of thy holy place. 5O God of our salvation, thou, in thy righteousness, By fearful works unto our pray’rs thine answer dost express: Therefore the ends of all the earth, and those afar that be Upon the sea, their confidence, O Lord, will place in thee. 6Who, being girt with pow’r, sets fast by his great strength the hills. 7Who noise of seas, noise of their waves, and people’s tumult, stills. 8Those in the utmost parts that dwell are at thy signs afraid: Th’ outgoings of the morn and ev’n by thee are joyful made. 9The earth thou visit’st, wat’ring it; thou mak’st it rich to grow With God’s full flood; thou corn prepar’st, when thou provid’st it so. 10Her rigs thou wat’rest plenteously, her furrows settelest: With show’rs thou dost her mollify, her spring by thee is blest. 11So thou the year most lib’rally dost with thy goodness crown; And all thy paths abundantly on us drop fatness down. 12They drop upon the pastures wide, that do in deserts lie; The little hills on ev’ry side rejoice right pleasantly. 13With flocks the pastures clothed be, the vales with corn are clad; And now they shout and sing to thee, for thou hast made them glad.

Psalm 65 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 80 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65:1-5 First Line: The praise of Zion waits for thee Lyrics: The praise of Zion waits for thee, My God, and praise becomes thy house; There shall thy saints thy glory see, And there perform their public vows. O thou whose mercy bends the skies To save when humble sinners pray, All lands to thee shall lift their eyes, And islands of the northern sea. Against my will my sins prevail, But grace shall purge away their stain; The blood of Christ will never fail To wash my garments white again. Blest is the man whom thou shalt choose, And give him kind access to thee; Give him a place within thy house, To taste thy love divinely free. Let Babel fear when Zion prays; Babel, prepare for long distress, When Zion's God himself arrays In terror and in righteousness. With dreadful glory God fulfils What his afflicted saints request; And with almighty wrath reveals His love, to give his churches rest. Then shall the flocking nations run To Zion's hill, and own their Lord; The rising and the setting sun Shall see the Savior's name adored.

The clouds, like rivers raised on high, Pour out at thy command Their wat'ry blessings from the sky, To cheer the thirsty land. The softened ridges of the field Permit the corn to spring; The valleys rich provision yield, And the poor lab'rers sing. The little hills, on every side, Rejoice at falling showers; The meadows, dressed in all their pride, Perfume the air with flowers. The barren clods, refreshed with rain, Promise a joyful crop; The parching grounds look green again, And raise the reaper's hope. The various months thy goodness crowns; How bounteous are thy ways! The bleating flocks spread o'er the downs, And shepherds shout thy praise.

Psalm 65 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65:5-13 First Line: The God of our salvation hears Lyrics: The God of our salvation hears The groans of Zion mixed with tears; Yet when he comes with kind designs, Through all the way his terror shines. On him the race of man depends, Far as the earth's remotest ends, Where the Creator's name is known By nature's feeble light alone. Sailors, that travel o'er the flood, Address their frighted souls to God, When tempests rage and billows roar At dreadful distance from the shore. He bids the noisy tempests cease; He calms the raging crowd to peace, When a tumultuous nation raves Wild as the winds, and loud as waves. Whole kingdoms, shaken by the storm, He settles in a peaceful form; Mountains, established by his hand, Firm on their old foundations stand. Behold his ensigns sweep the sky, New comets blaze, and lightnings fly; The heathen lands, with swift surprise, From the bright horrors turn their eyes. At his command the morning ray Smiles in the east, and leads the day; He guides the sun's declining wheels Over the tops of western hills. Seasons and times obey his voice; The ev'ning and the morn rejoice To see the earth made soft with showers, Laden with fruit, and dressed in flowers. 'Tis from his wat'ry stores on high He gives the thirsty ground supply; He walks upon the clouds, and thence Doth his enriching drops dispense. The desert grows a fruitful field, Abundant food the valleys yield; The valleys shout with cheerful voice, And neighb'ring hills repeat their joys. The pastures smile in green array; There lambs and larger cattle play; The larger cattle and the lamb Each in his language speaks thy name. Thy works pronounce thy power divine; O'er every field thy glories shine; Through every month thy gifts appear; Great God, thy goodness crowns the year!

God formed the creatures through the Word, and then pronounced them good. Lord, how thy wonders are displayed, where'er I turn my eye, if I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky! 3 There's not a plant or flower below but makes thy glories known. And clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from thy throne, while all that borrows life from thee is ever in thy care, and everywhere that we can be, thou, God, art present there.

For thee, O God, our constant Praise

Appears in 79 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65 Lyrics: 1 For Thee, O God, our constant Praise In Sion waits, thy chosen Seat; Our promis'd Altars there we'll raise, And all our zealous Vows complete. 2 O Thou, who to my humble Pray'r Didst always bend thy list'ning Ear, To Thee shall all Mankind repair, And at thy gracious Throne appear. 3 Our Sins (tho' numberless) in vain To stop thy flowing Mercy try; Whilst Thou o'erlook'st the guilty Stain, And washest out the crimson dye. 4 Blest is the Man, who, near Thee plac'd, Within thy sacred Dwelling lives! Whilst we, at humble Distance, taste The vast Delights thy Temple gives. 5 By wond'rous Acts, O God most Just, Have we thy gracious Answer found: In Thee remotest Nations trust, And those whom stormy Waves surround. 6,7 God, by His Strength, sets fast the Hills, And does His matchless Pow'r engage; With which the Sea's loud Waves He stills, And angry Crouds tumultuous Rage. Part II 8 Thou Lord, dost barb'rous Lands dismay, When they thy dreadful Tokens view: With Joy they see the Night and Day Each others Track, by Turns, pursue. 9 From out thy unexhausted Store Thy Rain relieves the thirsty Ground; Makes Lands, that barren were before, With Corn and useful Fruits abound. 10 On rising Ridges down it pours, And ev'ry furrow'd Valley fills: Thou mak'st them soft with gentle show'rs, In which a blest Increase distils. 11 Thy Goodness does the circling year With fresh Returns of Plenty crown; And where thy glorious Paths appear, Thy fruitful Clouds drop Fatness down. 12 They drop on barren Forests, chang'd By them to Pastures fresh and green: The Hills about in Order rang'd, In beauteous Robes of Joy are seen. 13 Large Flocks with fleecy Wool adorn The chearful Downs; the Vallies bring A plenteous Crop of full-ear'd Corn, And seem, for Joy, to shout and sing.
