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!
