172a. Praise for the Gospel

1 To our almighty Maker, God,
New honours be address'd;
His great salvation shines abroad,
And makes the nations blest.

2 To Abraham first he spoke the word,
And taught his numerous race;
The Gentiles own him sovereign Lord,
And learn to trust his grace.

3 Let the whole earth his love proclaim
With all her different tongues;
And spread the honour of his name
In melody and songs.
