Psalm 115A: Psalm 115:1-8
alzburg, C.M. [G]
| 1. |
1 LORD, not to us, not unto us,
But do Thou glory take
To Thin own name, ev'n for Thy truth
And for Thy mercy's sake.
|
| 2. |
2 The heathen say, "Where is their God?"
But why should they speak thus?
3 But our God in the heaven is;
What pleases Him He does.
|
| 3. |
4 Of gold and silver are their gods
Which human hands have wrought,
5 But with their mouths they do not speak,
And with their eyes see not.
|
| 4. |
6 No smell their nostrils have discerned;
No sound their ears have heard;
7 They never move their hands and feet;
Their throat emits no word.
|
| 5. |
8 And like to them shall all become
By whom these gods are made;
And every one becomes like them
Whose trust on them is stayed.
