Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen

(\'All creatures of our God and King\')

Psalm 78 parts

*******

Give ear, my people, to my law

Incline your ears, hear me for sure

Alleluia, Alleluia!

I will here speak in parables

Will explain to who on me calls

You shall grow strong in wisdom-schools

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Tell each generation my ways

That they in me prolong their days

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Set their hope in God, not forget

He shall be faithful, even yet

Will guide us, so our hearts be set

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Marvellous things He did there do

Came to their aid, helped them anew

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Divided Red Sea, people passed

Over, each one from first to last

Then o\'er enemies did Sea cast

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

In daytime He led them with cloud

And at night, fire as guiding shroud

Alleluia, Alleluia!

He clave the rocks in wilderness

Gave them waters from them, did bless

Provided out of His goodness

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

He rained manna from heaven down

Gave them to eat, thus His renown

Alleluia, Alleluia!

And caused wind to blow, bringing fowls

Coasting their flight on desert howls

They full, satisfied, each soul tells

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

He be their rock, their redeemer

Blessings on them He did confer

Alleluia, Alleluia!

When in Egypt plagues did He send

To render from enemies hand

His people, that they [be]\'fore Him stand

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

He chose the tribe of Judah sure

Mount Zion He loved evermore

Alleluia, Alleluia!

That [is] His dwelling, sanctuary

Established forever to be

Salvation flowing whole and free

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
