Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 113
Josiah Conder
Hallelujah! Raise, oh raise
To our God the song of praise!
All His servants join to sing
God our Saviour and our King.
2 Blessed be for evermore
That dread name which we adore:
Round the world His praise be sung,
Through all lands, in every tongue.
3 O'er all nations God alone,
Higher than the heavens His throne;
Who is like to God most high,
Infinite in majesty?
4 Yet to view the heavens He bends;
Yes, to earth He condescends;
Passing by the rich and great,
For the low and desolate.
5 He can raise the poor to stand
With the princes of the land;
Wealth upon the needy shower;
Set the meanest high in power.
6 He the broken spirit cheers;
Turns to joy the mourner's tears;
Such the wonders of His ways :
Praise His name—for ever praise.
Josiah Conder, 1837.
