Crown him, ye nations, in your song:

His name, Jehovah, sounds on high :
Praise him aloud ye sons of grace;

Ye saints, rejoice before his face.

When terrors rise-when nations faint,
He is the strength of every saint.

The Goodness and Compassion of God.
I BLEST be the Lord--the God of love,

Who showers his blessings from above;
The rock, on which the righteous trust,

The hope and saviour of the just.
2 He to his saints redemption gives,

The weak and humble he relieves; mf

Supported by his grace we stand,
For life and death are in his hand.

mp 3 He views his children in distress,

The widow and the fatherless;
And, from his holy seat above,

Supports them with his tender love.
4 All they who make his laws their choice,

Shall in his promises rejoice ;
With gladness in their hearts, shall raise,
Before his throne, triumphant praise.
