His chosen saints to grace,
He sets them up on high,
And favours Israel's race,
Who still to Hin are nigh:
O therefore raise
Your grateful voice,
And still rejoice
The Lord to praise.

PSALM CL.

O PRAISE the Lord in that blest place,
From whence His goodness largely flows;
Praise Him in heaven, where He His face
Unveil'd in perfect glory shows.

Praise Him for all the mighty acts
Which He in our behalf has done;
His kindness this return exacts,
With which our praise should equal run.

Let all that vital breath enjoy

The breath He does to them afford
In just returns of praise employ:
Let ev'ry creature praise the Lord.
