Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #44 (1786) First Line: In thee, great God, with songs of praise Lyrics: 1 In thee, great God, with songs of praise,
Our favour'd realms rejoice;
And, blest with thy salvation, raise
To heav'n their cheerful voice.
2 Thy sure defence, through nations round,
Hath spread our rising name,
And all our feeble efforts crown'd
With freedom and with fame.
3 In deep distress our injur'd land
Implor'd thy power to save;
For life we pray'd; thy bounteous hand
The timely blessing gave.
4 Thy mighty arm, eternal Power,
Oppos'd their deadly aim,
In mercy swept them from our shore,
And spread their sails with shame.
5 On thee, in want, in woe or pain,
Our hearts alone rely;
Our rights thy mercy will maintain,
And all our wants supply.
6 Thus, Lord, thy wondrous power declare,
And still exalt thy fame;
While we glad songs of praise prepare,
For thine Almighty name.
