Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 118 (song 1)
Richard Mant
To Jehovah hymn the lay,
Ever shall His love endure;
Oh let grateful Israel say,
Stands His love for ever sure.
2 Oh let Aaron's house reply,
Evermore His love shall last:
All, who fear Him, shout and cry,
Stands His love for ever fast.
3 On the everliving name,
In distress on JAH I cried:
JAH to my deliverance came,
And my prison open'd wide.
4 See Jehovah near me stand!
What from mortal shall I dread?
See Jehovah lift the hand!
Victor on my foes I tread.
5 Hark! the voice of joy and song
Echoes from the faithful seed;
By His right hand firm and strong
He hath done a mighty deed.
6 High Jehovah's hand is raised
By the conquest He hath won:
Be Jehovah's right hand praised!
He a mighty deed hath done.
Richard Mant, 1824.
