Gracious Greatness

Tune: St Agnes

(\'Jesus, the very thought of thee\')

Psalm 113

********

Praise you the LORD, you servant praise

His name, it now up raise

Blesséd be the name of the LORD

Forever, He the Word

 

From the rising of the bright sun

That reaches everyone

Until going down of the same

Praise be to the LORD\'s name

 

The LORD above all nations high

Is, yet His presence nigh

Above the heavens His glory

Is, by faith we it see

 

Who is the LORD our God lkie to?

Not many nor a few

Are like to Him, He on high dwells

He great, now each tongue tells

 

He humbles Himself to behold

All in heaven and earth told!

He raises from the dust the poor

Needy, [on] ash heap no more

 

He sets such with the princes all

Princes of His people

Makes barren woman children bare

Joyful mother she there
