¶Lyrics / Text

Hear my words, ye people give ear unto me all ye that have knowledge Let us choose to us judgement, let us know among ourselves what is good. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any. He is mighty in strength and in wisdom. Behold He is great, and we know Him not Neither can the number of his years be searched out. The Lord's seat is in heav'n… Clouds and darkness are round about Him Righteousness and judgment are the habitation of His seat He decketh himself with light as with a garment and spreadeth out the heav'ns like a curtain. He layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters and maketh the clouds His chariots. and walketh upon the wings of the wind He bowed the heav'ns and came down and it was dark under His feet. He rode on the cherubim and did fly, and came flying upon the wings of the wind. The Lord's seat is in heav'n His kingdom ruleth over all Behold the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him and upon them that put their trust in His mercy To deliver their soul from death. And to feed them in a time of dearth. Our soul hath patiently tarried for the Lord For He is our help, our help and our shield. He delivered the poor in his affliction the fatherless and him that hath none to help him He shall bind up the brokenhearted, and proclaim liberty to the captives, and comfort to those that mourn. He shall give them beauty for ashes: the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness For as the earth bringeth forth a bud, and as the garden causeth things that are sown to spring forth, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and peace to spring forth before all nations. The Lord is full of compassion, is full of compassion and mercy, He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our wickedness; For look how high the heav'n is in comparison of the earth so great is his mercy also toward them that fear Him. Look how wide also the East is from the West So far hath He set our sins from us. O praise ye the Lord Praise Him
