Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118:9-14 First Line: Not unto us, O Lord of heav'n Lyrics: 1 Not unto us, O Lord of heav'n,
But unto thee be glory given;
In love and truth thou dost fulfil
The counsels of thy sovereign will;
Though nations fail thy pow'r to own,
Yet thou dost reign, and thou alone.
2 Let Israel trust in God alone,
The Lord whose grace and pow'r are known;
To him your full allegiance yield,
And he will be your Help and Shield;
All those who fear him God will bless,
His saints have prov'd his faithfulness.
3 All ye that fear him and adore,
The Lord increase you more and more;
Both great and small who him confess,
You and your children he will bless.
Yea, we will ever bless his Name;
Praise ye the Lord, his praise proclaim.
