Profitable Praising

Tune: Ratisbon

(\'Christ whose glory fills the skies\')

Psalm 108 parts

*********

O Lord God, fixed is my heart

On you, I will do my part

In singing and praising you

Give to you the glory due

Wake, instruments, I will  too

Wake early, and will praise you

 

I will praise you midst people

Sing praises midst nations all

For your mercy it be great

To the heavens, you not late

To help me, and your truth pure

Reaches to the clouds, \'tis sure

 

O God, be you exalted

Above the heavens, and tread

Down all our enemies here

Let your glory now appear

It high above all the earth

We praise you, give you your worth

 

Save with your hand, answer me

Look on your beloved ones, see

Deliver them, they do trust

In you, though they be mere dust

You will help us to the last

Though seems you did us off cast

 

Give us help from trouble, for

Vain is the help of man sure

Through you we valiantly

Shall do, for you completely

Shall tread down our enemies

With this your justice agrees
