Greatness of God

Tune: Thornbury

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

Psalm 89 v.1-7

**********

I will sing of the mercies

Of the Lord, sureties

He gives, and with my mouth will

I make known His name still

His faithfulness unto all

Generations, none fall

For He does uplift, sustain

Comes to their help again

 

I said, Mercy shall be built

Up for ever, not wilt

Your faithfulness, Lord, you shall

Establish, and do well

Even in the heavens it seen

Unchanging you have bee

Covenant He makes with people

Come to Him, on Him call

 

David's line He will bless sure

His seed rule, true and pure

Unto all generations

Blessed among the nations

And the heavens, Lord, shall praise

Your wonders, each one says

That you are great, and you faithful

Among your people all

 

For who in heaven is like you?

Lord, faithful, holy, true

And who can midst human race

Anyone like you trace?

You are greatly to be feared here

We unto you draw near

And reverence and worship give

To you who do e'er live

      Thanks N. the Psalm goes on for about 37 verses in this vein, then for the last 13 or so verses it seems to say God's forgotten us, etc.

      I often think about Abraham's seed and how disobedience the Israelites were.
      Good plan that one...spread his seed throughout the world-as it is told. Good, right.
