     1 Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

     5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? 7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. 8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? 9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. 10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. 11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. 12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

     15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.(KJV)

1. Creator Spirit, by whose aid 
The world’s foundations first were laid, 
Come, visit every humble mind; 
Come, pour Thy joys on humankind; 
From sin and sorrow set us free 
And make Thy temples worthy Thee. 

2. O Source of uncreated light, 
The Father’s promised Paraclete, 
Thrice holy Fount, thrice holy Fire, 
Our hearts with heavenly love inspire; 
Come and Thy sacred unction bring 
To sanctify us while we sing. 

3. Plentous of grace, descend from high 
Rich in Thy sevenfold energy; 
Make us eternal truths receive 
And practice all that we believe; 
Give us Thyself that we may see 
The Father and the Son by Thee. 

4. Immortal honor, endless fame, 
Attend the almighty Father’s name; 
The Savior Son be glorified, 
Who for lost man’s redemption died; 
And equal adoration be, 
Eternal Paraclete, to Thee.
