Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 118 (song 3)
Richard Mant
Thee, Jehovah, will I bless;
Thou didst my request allow:
Thee my Saviour confess,
Author of my health art Thou.
2 Lo, the stone, which once aside
By the builders' hands was thrown,
See it now the building's pride,
See it now the corner-stone!
3 Lo, we hail Jehovah's deed,
Strange and wondrous in our eyes!
Lo, the day our God hath made!
Bid the voice of gladness rise.
4 Save, Hosanna! Lord, I pray!
Save, Hosanna; God of might:
Lord, for us Thy power display;
Lord, on us Thy favour light!
5 He Jehovah, is our Lord;
He, our God, on us hath shined:
Bind the sacrifice with cord,
To the horned altar bind.
6 Thee, I bless, my God and King!
Thee, my God and King, I hail!
Hallelujah, shout and sing!
Never shall His goodness fail.
Richard Mant, 1824.
