Praise for temporal blessings; or, Common and special mercies

Hymnal: PCSC1791 #136 (1791) First Line: We bless the Lord, the just, the good Lyrics: 1 We bless the Lord, the just, the good, Who fills our hearts with heav'nly food; Who pours his blessings from the skies, And loads our days with rich supplies. 2 He sends his sun his circuit round, To cheer the fruits, to warm the ground; He bids the clouds with plenteous rain, Refresh the thirsty earth again. 3 'Tis to his care we owe our breath, And all our near escapes from death: Safety and health to God belong; He heals the weak, and guards the strong. 4 He makes the saint and sinner prove The common blessings of his love; But the wide diff'rence that remains Is endless joy or endless pains. 5 The Lord that bruis'd the serpent's head, On all the serpent's seed shall tread, The stubborn sinner's heart confound, And smite him with a lasting wound. 6 But his right hand his saints shall raise, From the deep earth, or deeper seas; And bring them to his courts above, There shall they taste his special love. Scripture: Psalm 68:9-22 Languages: English
