Psalm 113 (Tate & Brady)

1 Ye saints and servants of the Lord,

the triumphs of his Name record:

2 His sacred Name for ever bless.

3 Where'er the circling sun displays

his rising beams or setting rays,

Due praise to his great Name address.

4 God through the world extends his sway,

the regions of eternal day

But shadows of his glory are.

5 With him, whose majesty excels,

who made the heav'n in which he dwells,

Let no created pow'r compare.

6 Though 'tis beneath his state to view

in highest heav'n what angels do,

Yet he to earth vouchsafes his care:

He takes the needy from his cell,

advancing him in courts to dwell,

companion to the greatest there.

7 When childless families despair,

he sends the blessing of an heir,

To rescue their expiring name;

Makes her that barren was to bear,

and joyfully her fruit to rear:

O then extol his matchless fame!
