Isaac Watts - Psalm 107 part 1
Work rating: Low

Israel led to Canaan, and Christians to heaven.

Give thanks to God; he reigns above;
Kind are his thoughts, his name is Love;
His mercy ages past have known,
And ages long to come shall own.

Let the redeemed of the Lord
The wonders of his grace record;
Isr`el, the nation whom he chose,
And rescued from their mighty foes.

[When God`s almighty arm had broke
Their fetters and th` Egyptian yoke,
They traced the desert, wand`ring round
A wild and solitary ground.

There they could find no leading road,
Nor city for a fixed abode;
Nor food, nor fountain, to assuage
Their burning thirst or hunger`s rage.]

In their distress, to God they cried
God was their Savior and their Guide;
He led their march far wand`ring round,
`Twas the right path to Canaan`s ground.

Thus, when our first release we gain
From sin`s old yoke, and Satan`s chain,
We have this desert world to pass,
A dangerous and a tiresome place.

He feeds and clothes us all the way,
He guides our footsteps lest we stray,
He guards us with a powerful hand,
And brings us to the heav`nly land.

O let the saints with joy record
The truth and goodness of the Lord!
How great his works! how kind his ways!
Let every tongue pronounce his praise.
