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.) #202 (1786) First Line: From age to age exalt his name Lyrics: 1 From age to age exalt his name,
God and his grace are still the same;
He fills the hungry soul with food,
And feeds the poor with every good.
2 But if their hearts rebel and rise
Against the God that rules the skies;
If they reject his heavenly word,
And slight the counsels of the Lord:
3 He'll bring their spirits to the ground,
And no deliverance shall be found;
Laden with grief they waste their breath
In darkness and the shades of death.
4 Then to the Lord they raise their cries,
He makes the dawning light arise,
And scatters all that dismal shade
That hung so heavy round their head.
5 He cuts the bars of brass in two,
And lets the smiling prisoners through
Takes off the load of guilt and grief,
And gives the labouring soul relief.
6 Oh may the sons of men record
The wondrous goodness of the Lord!
How great his works! how kind his ways!
Let every tongue pronounce his praise.
