Who works in heaven and on the earth,
The counsel of His will.

How great, how awful, and how just
Was that Almighty word,
Which, for the sinfulness of men,
Did call the dreadful flood.

And while the world was perishing,
'Tis pleasing to observe,
The loving-kindness of the Lord,
Who did the good preserve.

He saved them in the ark, while fell
The overflowing rain;
And when the flood was dried away,
He brought them forth again.

NOAH SACRIFICES TO THE LORD.


When Noah came forth from the ark,
His heart was filled with praise;
He worshipp'd God with thankful voice,
For His abounding grace.
