O thee, my King, my God of grace, Let not my poor desponding soul 2 With horrid lips and guileful tongue, 3 For me they dug the secret pit, 4 My heart, with agonizing prayer, Unseen he seized my trembling hand, 5 He broke the charm which drew my feet From lips profane and tongues impure 6 Homeward I flew to find my God, To Zion's friends and mine. 7 My lips thy wondrous works shall sing, 29 1 GIVE Storm and Thunder. IVE to the Lord, ye sons of fame, Give to the Lord renown and power; Ascribe due honors to his name, And his eternal might adore. 2 The Lord proclaims his power aloud, 3 He speaks-and tempest, hail, and wind 4 To Lebanon he turns his voice, And lo, the stately cedars break; The mountains tremble at the noise, The valleys roar, the deserts quake. 5 The Lord sits sovereign on the flood, The Thunderer reigns for ever king; 6 In gentler language there the Lord Dwight.
