Psalm 145:3. 7 &c. Second Part. The goodness of God.

← The Psalms of David Imitated in the Language of the New Testament and Applied to the Christian State and Worship

1 Sweet is the memory of thy grace, My God, my heavenly king; Let age to age thy righteousness In sounds of glory sing.

2 God reigns on high, but not confines His goodness to the skies; Thro' the whole earth his bounty shines, And every want supplies.

3 With longing eyes thy creatures wait On thee for daily food, Thy liberal hand provides their meat And fills their mouths with good.

4 How kind are thy compassions, Lord! How slow thine anger moves! But soon he sends his pardoning word To cheer the souls he loves.

5 Creatures, with all their endless race, Thy power and praise proclaim; But saints that taste thy richer grace Delight to bless thy Name.
