A General Song of Praise to God

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 86

Verse 1

Among the princes, earthly gods, There’s none hath pow'r divine; Nor is their nature, mighty Lord, Nor are their works like thine.

Verse 2

The nations thou hast made shall bring Their off'rings round thy throne; For thou alone dost wond'rous things, For thou art God alone.

Verse 3

Lord, I would walk with holy feet, Teach me thine heav’nly ways, And all my wand'ring thoughts unite In God my Father’s praise.

Verse 4

Great is thy mercy, and my tongue Shall those sweet wonders tell, How by thy grace my sinking soul Rose from the deeps of hell.
