8,6,8,6 ^1Not unto us, Lord, not to us, but do thou glory take Unto thy name, ev'n for thy truth, and for thy mercy's sake. ^2O wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God now gone? ^3But our God in the heavens is, what pleas'd him he hath done. ^4Their idols silver are and gold, work of men's hands they be. ^5Mouths have they, but they do not speak; and eyes, but do not see; ^6Ears have they, but they do not hear; noses, but savour not; ^7Hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk; nor speak they through their throat. ^8Like them their makers are, and all on them their trust that build. ^9O Isr'el, trust thou in the Lord, he is their help and shield. ^10O Aaron's house, trust in the Lord, their help and shield is he. ^11Ye that fear God, trust in the Lord, their help and shield he'll be. ^12The Lord of us hath mindful been, and he will bless us still: He will the house of Isr'el bless, bless Aaron's house he will. ^13Both small and great, that fear the Lord, he will them surely bless. ^14The Lord will you, you and your seed, aye more and more increase. ^15O blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the earth and heav'n. ^16The heav'n, ev'n heav'ns, are God's, but he earth to men's sons hath giv'n. ^17The dead, nor who to silence go, God's praise do not record. ^18But henceforth we for ever will bless God. Praise ye the Lord. |
