Presence Providence

Tune: Thornbury

(\'Thy hand, O God, has guided\')

Psalm 105 v.1-11

*********

O give thanks to the Lord, sing

Call on His name, praise bring

Make known His deeds among all

People, and on Him call

Sing unto Him psalms, tunes make

E\'en for His good name\'s sake

Talk of all His works wondrous

His ways shown unto us

 

Glory in His holy name

That ever stays the same

Let the heart of them rejoice

That seek the Lord, their choice

Seek the Lord, his strength always

Continue nights and days

Seek His face sure evermore

His presence e\'er adore

 

Remember His works marvellous

That He has done for us

His wonder and His judgement

He speaks to penitents

You are of Abraham the seed* (*descendants)

His servant, he does heed

You, and of Jacob*, His chosen (*or Israel)

Praise Him now once again

 

His is the Lord our God, He

His judgement in earth, see

His covenant He remembered

Has not His grace deferred

For it does stand for ever

And it shall fail never

To thousand generations

Made unto all nations

 

With Abraham, Isaac, did make

Was for His own name\'s sake

Covenant, and Jacob too

Granted these blessings true

Said, Unto you I will give

Canaan\'s land, you will love

There reside, your inheritance

By His good providence
