66. GOD'S MARVELLOUS WORKS. Ps. 104.'Tis God, who made and heav'n and earth sustains:We render homage due.—When floods arose,The Lord did quell them to a quick repose.—He made all springs for mountains and for plains.T' enrich the earth he gives his plenteous rains;The herb for man and grass for cattle grows.—The moon for seasons made, the sun too knowsHis going down, when thickest darkness reigns;Then forest beasts creep forth, who shun the light.To God young lions for their meat do cry;The sun ariseth,—down in their dens they lie:But man unto his work goes out till night.—Thy works, O Lord, how manifold and great!In searchless wisdom didst thou all create!
66. GOD'S MARVELLOUS WORKS. Ps. 104.
'Tis God, who made and heav'n and earth sustains:We render homage due.—When floods arose,The Lord did quell them to a quick repose.—He made all springs for mountains and for plains.T' enrich the earth he gives his plenteous rains;The herb for man and grass for cattle grows.—The moon for seasons made, the sun too knowsHis going down, when thickest darkness reigns;Then forest beasts creep forth, who shun the light.To God young lions for their meat do cry;The sun ariseth,—down in their dens they lie:But man unto his work goes out till night.—Thy works, O Lord, how manifold and great!In searchless wisdom didst thou all create!
'Tis God, who made and heav'n and earth sustains:
We render homage due.—When floods arose,
The Lord did quell them to a quick repose.—
He made all springs for mountains and for plains.
T' enrich the earth he gives his plenteous rains;
The herb for man and grass for cattle grows.—
The moon for seasons made, the sun too knows
His going down, when thickest darkness reigns;
Then forest beasts creep forth, who shun the light.
To God young lions for their meat do cry;
The sun ariseth,—down in their dens they lie:
But man unto his work goes out till night.—
Thy works, O Lord, how manifold and great!
In searchless wisdom didst thou all create!
