376. Enduring Mercy. Psalm 136. 7s.
Praise Jehovah
for His love,
God of gods,
enthroned above;
Praise the mighty
King of kings,
Who alone doth
wondrous things;
For His mercy
doth endure,
Ever faithful,
ever sure.
God by wisdom
framed the skies,
Made the earth
from ocean rise,
Gave the sun by
day for light,
Moon and stars to
rule the night;
For His mercy
doth endure,
Ever faithful,
ever sure.
He made Egypt's
greatness vain,
Caused their
firstborn to be slain,
Brought forth
Israel from their land,
Stretching out
His mighty hand;
For His mercy
doth endure,
Ever faithful,
ever sure.
God the sea
asunder clave,
Brought His
people through the wave,
Drowned their
foes beneath the deep,
Through the
desert led His sheep;
For His mercy
doth endure,
Ever faithful,
ever sure.
Mighty kings of
mighty name
He destroyed and
put to shame,
Made their land a
heritage
For His saints
from age to age;
For His mercy
doth endure,
Ever faithful,
ever sure.
God remembered
all our woe,
Rescued us from
every foe,
Food to all He
doth supply,
Praise the Lord
enthroned on high;
For His mercy
doth endure,
Ever faithful,
ever sure.
377. Divine Love. Psalm 136. L.M.
O thank the Lord,
the Lord of love,
O thank the God,
all gods above;
His tender
mercies ever sure
To all eternity
endure.
O thank the
mighty King of kings,
Whose arm has
done such wondrous things;
His tender
mercies ever sure
To all eternity
endure.
His wisdom gave
the heavens their birth,
And on the waters
spread the earth;
His tender
mercies ever sure
To all eternity
endure.
He taught yon
glorious lights their way,
He made the sun
to rule the day;
His tender
mercies ever sure
To all eternity
endure.
He set the moon,
with milder light,
And shining stars
to rule the night;
His tender
mercies ever sure
To all eternity
endure.
He thought on us
amid our woes,
And rescued us
from all our foes;
His tender
mercies ever sure
To all eternity
endure.
Give thanks to
heaven's Almighty King,
Who daily feeds
each living thing;
His tender
mercies ever sure
To all eternity
endure.
378. The Unfailing Mercy
of God. Psalm 136. 8s and 7s.
Give thanks to
God, for good is He,
His grace abideth
ever;
To Him all praise
and glory be,
His mercy faileth
never.
His wondrous
works with praise record,
His grace abideth
ever;
The only God, the
sovereign Lord,
Whose mercy
faileth never.
His wisdom made
the heavens to be,
His grace abideth
ever;
He spread the
earth above the sea,
His mercy faileth
never.
Praise Him Whose
sun doth bring the day,
His grace abideth
ever;
The moon and
stars His might display,
Whose mercy
faileth never.
He helped us in
our deepest woes,
His grace abideth
ever;
He ransomed us
from all our foes,
His mercy faileth
never.
Each creature's
need doth He supply,
His grace abideth
ever;
Give thanks to
God, enthroned on high,
Whose mercy
faileth never.
379. Memories of Zion. Psalm 137. L.M.
By Babel's
streams we sat and wept,
For memory still
to Zion clung;
The winds alone
our harpstrings swept,
That on the
drooping willows hung.
There our rude
captors, flushed with pride,
A song required
to mock our wrongs;
Our spoilers
called for mirth and cried,
Come, sing us one
of Zion's songs.
Not songs but
sighs to us belong
When Zion's walls
in ruin lie;
How shall we sing
Jehovah's song
While in an alien
land we die?
O Zion fair,
God's holy hill,
Wherein our God
delights to dwell,
Let my right hand
forget her skill
If I forget to
love thee well.
If I do not
remember thee,
Then let my
tongue from utterance cease,
If any earthly
joy to me
Be dear as Zion's
joy and peace.
Remember, Lord,
the dreadful day
Of Zion's cruel
overthrow;
How happy he who
shall repay
The bitter hatred
of her foe.
380. Remembrance of
Church Privileges. Psalm 137. 10s.
By Babel's
riverside we sat in tears,
Remembering
Zion's pride in former years,
While on the
weeping willows there were hung
The harps our
grief had silenced and unstrung.
For they who led
us there a captive throng
Required that we
prepare for them a song;
Yea, there our
captors asked for mirth and praise,
Required a song
of Zion's happy days.
O how shall we
thus sing at their command
Songs of the
Lord, our King, in this strange land?
O Zion, if I e'er
forget thy woe,
Let my right hand
its skill no longer know.
Yea, let my
tongue, I pray, all silent be,
If I do not alway
remember thee;
If I prefer not
thee, though in thy grief,
Above all other
joys my very chief.
381. Exultation in God. Psalm 138. L.M.
With grateful
heart my thanks I bring,
Before the great
Thy praise I sing;
I worship in Thy
holy place
And praise Thee
for Thy truth and grace;
For truth and
grace together shine
In Thy most holy
word divine.
I cried to Thee
and Thou didst save,
Thy word of grace
new courage gave;
The kings of
earth shall thank Thee, Lord,
For they have
heard Thy wondrous word;
Yea, they shall
come with songs of praise,
For great and
glorious are Thy ways.
O Lord, enthroned
in glory bright,
Thou reignest in
the heavenly height;
The proud in vain
Thy favor seek,
But Thou hast
mercy for the meek;
Through trouble
though my pathway be,
Thou wilt revive
and strengthen me.
Thou wilt stretch
forth Thy mighty arm
To save me when
my foes alarm;
The work Thou
hast for me begun
Shall by Thy
grace be fully done;
Forever mercy
dwells with Thee;
O Lord, my Maker,
think on me.
382. A Vision of God. Psalm 139. L.M.
Lord, Thou hast
searched me, and dost know
Where'er I rest,
where'er I go;
Thou knowest all
that I have planned,
And all my ways
are in Thy hand.
My words from
Thee I cannot hide,
I feel Thy power
on every side;
O wondrous
knowledge, awful might,
Unfathomed depth,
unmeasured height!
Where can I go
apart from Thee,
Or whither from
Thy presence flee?
In heaven? it is
Thy dwelling fair;
In death's abode?
lo, Thou art there.
If I the wings of
morning take,
And far away my
dwelling make,
The hand that
leadeth me is Thine,
And my support
Thy power divine.
If deepest
darkness cover me,
The darkness
hideth not from Thee;
To Thee both
night and day are bright,
The darkness
shineth as the light.
383. The Lord Our Maker. Psalm 139. L.M.
All that I am I
owe to Thee,
Thy wisdom, Lord,
hath fashioned me;
I give my Maker
thankful praise,
Whose wondrous
works my soul amaze.
Ere into being I
was brought,
Thy eye did see,
and in Thy thought
My life in all
its perfect plan
Was ordered ere
my days began.
Thy thoughts, O
God, how manifold,
More precious
unto me than gold!
I muse on their
infinity,
Awaking I am
still with Thee.
The wicked Thou
wilt surely slay,
From me let
sinners turn away;
They speak
against the Name divine,
I count God's
enemies as mine.
Search me, O God,
my heart discern,
Try me, my inmost
thought to learn;
And lead me, if
in sin I stray,
To choose the
everlasting way.
384. The Searcher of
Hearts. Psalm 139. C.M.
O Lord, my inmost
heart and thought
Thy searching eye
doth see;
Where'er I rest,
where'er I go,
My ways are known
to Thee.
Each spoken word,
each silent thought,
Thou, Lord, dost
understand;
Before me and
behind art Thou,
Restraining by
Thy hand.
If I the wings of
morning take
To some remotest
land,
Still I shall be
upheld by Thee
And guided by Thy
hand.
From Thee, O
Lord, I cannot hide,
Though darkness
cover me;
The darkness and
the light of day
Are both alike to
Thee.
Search me, O God,
and know my heart,
Try me, my
thoughts to know;
O lead me, if in
sin I stray,
In paths of life
to go.
385. Peril and Prayer. Psalm 140. 7s
and 6s.
Deliver me from
evil,
Preserve me,
Lord, from wrong;
Against the foes
that gather
Be Thou my helper
strong.
From those who
plot to hurt me
And spread their
treacherous snare
Preserve me,
Lord, and keep me
Safeguarded in
Thy care.
O Lord, I have
confessed Thee
To be my God
alone;
O hear my
supplication
And be Thy mercy
shown;
O God the Lord,
my Saviour,
My shield amid
the strife,
Let not the
wicked triumph
Who plot against
my life.
Let evil smite
the evil
And cause their
overthrow;
The needy and
afflicted
The Lord will
help, I know;
Thy saints,
redeemed from evil,
Their thanks to
Thee shall give;
The righteous and
the upright
Shall in Thy
presence live.
386. Prayerful Desire. Psalm 141. L.M.
O Lord, make
haste to hear my cry,
To Thee I call,
on Thee rely;
Incline to me a
gracious ear,
And, when I call,
in mercy hear.
When in the
morning unto Thee
I lift my voice
and bring my plea,
Then let my
prayer as incense rise
To God enthroned
above the skies.
When unto Thee I
look and pray
With lifted hands
at close of day,
Then as the
evening sacrifice
Let my request
accepted rise.
Guard Thou my
thoughts, I Thee implore,
And of my lips
keep Thou the door;
Nor leave my
sinful heart to stray
Where evil
footsteps lead the way.
O righteous God,
Thy chastisement,
Though sent
through foes, in love is sent;
Though grievous,
it will profit me,
A healing
ointment it shall be.
While wickedness
my foes devise,
To Thee my
constant prayer shall rise;
When their
injustice is o'erthrown
My gentleness
shall still be shown.
Brought nigh to
death and sore distressed,
O Lord, my God,
in Thee I rest;
Forsake me not, I
look to Thee,
Let me Thy great
salvation see.
Themselves
entangled in their snare,
Their own defeat
my foes prepare;
O keep me, Lord,
nor let me fall,
Protect and lead
me safe through all.
387. Our Only Saviour. Psalm 142. L.M.
To God my earnest
voice I raise,
To God my voice
imploring prays;
Before His face
my grief I show
And tell my
trouble and my woe.
When gloom and
sorrow compass me,
The path I take
is known to Thee,
And all the toils
that foes do lay
To snare Thy
servant in his way.
All unprotected,
lo, I stand,
No friendly
guardian at my hand,
No place of
flight or refuge near,
And none to whom
my soul is dear.
O Lord, my
Saviour, now to Thee,
Without a hope
besides, I flee,
To Thee, my
shelter from the strife,
My portion in the
land of life.
Be Thou my help
when troubles throng,
For I am weak and
foes are strong;
My captive soul
from prison bring,
And thankful
praises I will sing.
The righteous
then shall gather round
To share the
blessing I have found,
Their hearts made
glad because they see
How richly God
has dealt with me.
388. Christ our Refuge
and Portion. Psalm 142. L.M.
To Thee, O Lord,
I humbly cry,
To Thee my
supplication make,
To Thee I bring
my sad complaint,
To Thee my bitter
grief I take.
Thou knowest,
Lord, my deep distress,
The lonely path,
the hidden snare,
How refuge
faileth, friends forsake,
And no man for my
soul doth care.
My prayer is unto
Thee, O Lord,
No refuge but in
Thee I know,
No portion but in
Thee I find;
Lord, in my need
Thy mercy show.
Be Thou my
Saviour, O my Lord,
For I am weak and
foes are strong;
My captive soul
from prison bring,
And glad shall be
my thankful song.
Around me shall
the righteous throng,
And crowned with
joy Thy saints shall be,
Their hearts made
glad because the Lord
In richest grace
hath dealt with me.
389. Contrite Trust. Psalm 143. 6s.
Lord, hear me in
distress,
Regard my
suppliant cry,
And in Thy
faithfulness
And righteousness
reply.
In judgment do
not cause
Thy servant to be
tried;
Before Thy holy
laws
No man is
justified.
The enemy has
sought
My soul in dust
to tread;
To darkness I am
brought,
Forgotten as the
dead.
My spirit,
crushed with grief,
Is sad and
overborne;
My heart finds no
relief,
But desolate I
mourn.
Recalling former
days
And all Thy
wondrous deeds,
The memory of Thy
ways
To hope and
comfort leads.
To Thee I stretch
my hands,
Let me not plead
in vain;
I wait as weary
lands
Wait for
refreshing rain.
My failing spirit
see,
O Lord, to me
make haste;
Hide not Thy face
from me,
Lest bitter death
I taste.
O let the morn
return,
Let mercy light
my day;
For Thee in faith
I yearn,
O guide me in the
way.
Lord, save me
from my foe,
To Thee for help
I flee;
Teach me Thy way
to know,
I have no God but
Thee.
By Thy good
Spirit led
From trouble and
distress,
My erring feet
shall tread
The path of
uprightness.
O Lord, for Thy
Name's sake
Revive my
fainting heart;
My soul from
trouble take,
For just and true
Thou art.
Remove my enemy,
My cruel foe
reward;
In mercy rescue
me
Who am Thy
servant, Lord.
390. Earnest Desire and
Supplication. Psalm 143. 6s.
Lord, hear me in
distress,
Regard my
suppliant cry,
And in Thy
faithfulness
And righteousness
reply.
In judgment do
not cause
Thy servant to be
tried;
Before Thy holy
laws
No man is
justified.
To Thee I stretch
my hands,
Let me not plead
in vain;
I wait as weary
lands
Wait for
refreshing rain.
O let the morn
return,
Let mercy light
my day;
For Thee in faith
I yearn,
O guide me in the
way.
By Thy good
Spirit led
From trouble and
distress,
My erring feet
shall tread
The path of
uprightness.
O Lord, for Thy
Name's sake
Revive my
fainting heart;
My soul from
trouble take,
For just and true
Thou art.
391. Reliance and
Supplication. Psalm 143. C.M.
When morning
lights the eastern skies,
O Lord, Thy mercy
show;
On Thee alone my
hope relies,
Let me Thy
kindness know.
Teach me the way
that I should go;
I lift my soul to
Thee;
For refuge from
the cruel foe
To Thee, O Lord,
I flee.
Thou art my God,
to Thee I pray,
Teach me Thy will
to heed;
And in the right
and perfect way
May Thy good
Spirit lead.
For Thy Name's
sake, O gracious Lord,
Revive my soul
and bless,
And in Thy
faithfulness and love
Redeem me from
distress.
392. Trustful Praise and
Prayer. Psalm 144. C.P.M.
Blest be the
Lord, my rock, my might,
My constant
helper in the fight,
My shield, my
righteousness,
My strong high
tower, my Saviour true,
Who doth my
enemies subdue,
My shelter in
distress.
Lord, what is
man, what hath he wrought,
The son of man,
that in Thy thought
To hold him Thou
shouldst deign?
For man is like a
breath, a sigh,
His days on earth
as quickly fly
As shadows o'er
the plain.
Lord, bow Thy
heavens, in might descend,
Touch Thou the
hills, the mountains rend,
And they shall
smoke and flame;
As arrows send
Thy lightnings out
To put Thy
enemies to rout,
And fill Thy foes
with shame.
Stretch forth Thy
hand and rescue me
From trouble's
dark and raging sea,
And from the
alien throng,
Whose mouth but
vanity doth speak,
Whose hand of
strength against the weak
Is filled with
craft and wrong.
Now will I sing a
glad new song,
Thy praise, O
God, I will prolong,
For Thou hast
heard my prayer;
Salvation Thou
dost give to kings,
Thy own dost
keep, with sheltering wings,
From hurtful
sword and snare.
O Thou to Whom in
trust I flee,
Stretch forth Thy
hand and rescue me
From all the
alien throng,
Whose mouth but
vanity doth speak,
Whose hand of
strength against the weak
Is filled with
craft and wrong.
393. National Prosperity. Psalm 144. C.P.M.
O happy land,
whose sons in youth,
In sturdy
strength and noble truth,
Like plants in
vigor spring;
Whose daughters
fair, a queenly race,
Are like the
cornerstones that grace
The palace of a
king.
O happy land,
when flock and field
Their rich,
abundant increase yield,
And blessings
multiply;
When plenty all
thy people share,
And no invading
foe is there,
And no
distressful cry.
O happy people,
favored land,
To whom the Lord
with liberal hand
Hath thus His
goodness shown;
Yea, surely is
that people blest
By whom Jehovah
is confessed
To be their God
alone.
394. Our Glorious King. Psalm 145. C.M.
I will extol
Thee, O my God,
And praise Thee,
O my King;
Yea, every day
and evermore
Thy praises I
will sing.
Great is the
Lord, our mighty God,
And greatly to be
praised;
His greatness is
unsearchable,
Above all glory
raised.
Each generation
to the next
Shall testimony
bear,
And to Thy
praise, from age to age,
Thy wondrous acts
declare.
Upon Thy glorious
majesty
And honor I will
dwell,
And all Thy grand
and glorious works
And all Thy
greatness tell.
Thy mighty acts
and terrible
Shall men with
awe confess;
Of Thy great
goodness they shall sing,
And perfect
righteousness.
Most gracious and
compassionate
Is God Who reigns
above;
His wrath is ever
slow to rise,
Unbounded is His
love.
395. The Kingdom of Grace. Psalm 145. C.M.
The Lord, our
God, is good to all,
From Him all
blessing flows;
On all His works
His tender love
And mercy He
bestows.
By all Thy works
Thou shalt be praised,
And by Thy saints
be blest;
Thy glorious
kingdom and Thy power
Shall ever be
confessed.
The praises of
Thy mighty deeds
Through all the
earth shall ring,
To show the
glorious majesty
Of heaven's
eternal King.
Eternal is Thy
kingdom, Lord,
Thy throne shall
ever stand;
All generations
to the end
Shall bow to Thy
command.
396. The Goodness of God. Psalm 145. C.M.
The Lord is
strong to help the weak,
Upholding those
that fall,
Restoring those
bowed down with grief,
And doing good to
all.
Thy creatures
look to Thee for food,
From day to day
supplied,
And Thou dost for
their sustenance
With open hand
provide.
The Lord is right
in all His ways,
His works His
love declare,
And He is nigh to
every one
That breaths the
trustful prayer.
The hope of those
that fear His Name
The Lord will
satisfy;
Their mighty
Saviour He will be
When unto Him
they cry.
All those that
set their love on Him
Shall full
salvation know,
But wicked men
and wicked ways
The Lord will
overthrow.
My mouth shall
bless the Lord my God
And all His
praise proclaim;
Let all unite for
evermore
To bless His holy
Name.
397. The Greatness and
Grace of God. Psalm 145. L.M.
O Lord, Thou art
my God and King,
And I will ever
bless Thy Name;
I will extol Thee
every day,
And evermore Thy
praise proclaim.
The Lord is
greatly to be praised,
His greatness is
beyond our thought;
From age to age
the sons of men
Shall tell the
wonders God has wrought.
Upon Thy glorious
majesty
And wondrous
works my mind shall dwell;
Thy deeds shall
fill the world with awe,
And of Thy
greatness I will tell.
Thy matchless
goodness and Thy grace
Thy people shall
commemorate,
And all Thy truth
and righteousness
My joyful song
shall celebrate.
The Lord our God
is rich in grace,
Most tender and
compassionate;
His anger is most
slow to rise,
His
lovingkindness is most great.
The Lord is good
in all His ways,
His creatures
know His constant care;
To all His works
His love extends,
All men His
tender mercies share.
Thy works shall
give Thee thanks, O Lord,
Thy saints Thy
mighty acts shall show,
Till o'er the
earth the sons of men
Thy kingdom,
power, and glory know.
Eternal is Thy
kingdom, Lord,
Forever strong
and ever sure;
While generations
rise and die
Shall Thy
dominion still endure.
398. Divine Grace and
Compassion. Psalm 145. L.M.
The Lord uphold
the faltering feet
And makes the
weak securely stand;
The burdened
ones, bowed down with grief,
Are helped by His
most gracious hand.
The eyes of all
upon Thee wait;
By Thee their
wants are all supplied;
Thy open hand is
bountiful,
And every soul is
satisfied.
The Lord is just
in all His ways,
In all His works
the Lord is kind,
And all that call
on Him in truth
In Him a present
helper find.
He will fulfill
thy heart's desire
Of those that
fear Him and obey;
Their cry the
Lord will surely hear,
And He will save
them when they pray.
His great
salvation they shall know
Who love the
Lord's most holy Name;
The wicked He
will overthrow
And put His
enemies to shame.
My mouth shall
speak the glorious praise
Of Him Whom
heaven and earth adore;
Let all exult His
holy Name
Forever and for
evermore.
399. The Excellency of
God. Psalm 145. 7, 6s, 8.
My God, I will
extol Thee
And ever bless
Thy Name;
Each day will I
give thanks to Thee
And all Thy
praise proclaim.
Great is the Lord
and mighty,
And highly to be
praised;
His greatness is
unsearchable,
Above our
knowledge raised.
To every
generation
Thy glory shall
be told,
Thy honor and Thy
majesty
In memory I will
hold;
Thy mighty power
and greatness
Shall all mankind
confess,
And tell the
story of Thy love,
And sing Thy
righteousness.
The Lord is very
gracious
And most
compassionate;
His anger is most
slow to rise,
His mercy is most
great;
On all His
helpless creatures
His tender
mercies rest;
By all His works
He shall be praised,
By all His saints
be blest.
The glory of His
kingdom
Proclaimed abroad
shall be,
That all may know
His mighty deeds
And glorious
majesty;
His kingdom is
eternal,
His throne shall
stand secure,
And His dominion
without end
Through ages
shall endure.
400. Trust and Praise. Psalm 146. 8s
and 7s.
Hallelujah,
praise Jehovah,
O my soul,
Jehovah praise;
I will sing the
glorious praises
Of my God through
all my days.
Put no confidence
in princes,
Nor for help on
man depend;
He shall die, to
dust returning,
And his purposes
shall end.
Happy is the man
that chooses
Israel's God to
be his aid;
He is blest whose
hope of blessing
On the Lord his
God is stayed.
Heaven and earth
the Lord created,
Seas and all that
they contain;
He delivers from
oppression,
Righteousness He
will maintain.
Food He daily
gives the hungry,
Sets the mourning
prisoner free,
Raises those
bowed down with anguish,
Makes the
sightless eyes to see.
Well Jehovah
loves the righteous,
And the stranger
He befriends,
Helps the
fatherless and widow,
Judgment on the
wicked sends.
Over all God
reigns forever,
Through all ages
He is King;
Unto Him, thy
God, O Zion,
Joyful
hallelujahs sing.
401. The One True Helper. Psalm 146. L.M.
Praise ye the
Lord, His praise proclaim,
And, O my soul,
bless thou His Name;
Yea, I will sound
His praise abroad
And ever bless
the Lord, my God.
Trust not in man
who soon must die,
But on the living
God rely;
Most blest the
man whose help is He
That made the
heaven and earth and sea.
His truth
unchanged shall ever stand,
He saves from
strong oppression's hand,
In Him the sad a
helper find,
He feeds the poor
and heals the blind.
Thy God shall
reign for evermore,
Praise Him, O
Zion, and adore;
The Lord is
heaven's eternal King,
To Him all praise
and honor bring.
402. Reasons for Praise. Psalm 147. 7s
and 6s.
O sing ye
Hallelujah!
'Tis good our God
to praise;
'Tis pleasant and
becoming
To Him our songs
to raise;
He builds the
walls of Zion,
He seeks her
wandering sons,
He binds their
wounds and comforts
The brokenhearted
ones.
The starry hosts
He numbers,
He calls them all
by name;
His greatness and
His wisdom
His wondrous
works proclaim;
The meek He lifts
to honor,
He humbles sinful
pride;
Give thanks to
Him and utter
His praises far
and wide.
The heavens with
clouds He covers,
He sends the
cheering rain;
The slopes of all
the mountains
He fills with
grass and grain;
To beast and bird
His goodness
Their daily food
supplies;
He cares for all
His creatures,
Attentive to
their cries.
No human power
delights Him,
No earthly pomp
or pride;
He loves the meek
who fear Him
And in His love
confide;
Then praise Thy
God, O Zion,
His gracious aid
confess;
He gives thee
peace and plenty,
His gifts thy
children bless.
He sends His
swift commandment,
And snow and ice
enfold
The world, and
none are able
To stand before
His cold.
Again He gives
commandment;
The winds of
summer blow,
The snow and ice
are melted,
Again the waters
flow.
His statutes and
His judgments
He makes His
people know;
To them as to no
others
His grace He
loves to show;
For matchless
grace and mercy
Your grateful
praises bring;
To Him give
thanks forever,
And Hallelujah
sing.
403. Thankful
Commemoration. Psalm 147. C.M.
Praise ye the
Lord, for it is good
To sing unto our
God;
'Tis right and
pleasant for His saints
To tell His
praise abroad.
The Lord our God
builds up His Church,
He seeks her
wandering sons;
He binds their
wounds and gently heals
The brokenhearted
ones.
Our Lord is
great, He calls by name
And counts the
stars of night;
His wisdom is
unsearchable,
And wondrous is
His might.
The Lord upholds
the poor and meek,
He brings the
wicked low;
Sing praise to
Him and give Him thanks
And all His
goodness show.
No human might,
no earthly pride,
Delights the Lord
above;
In them that fear
Him He delights,
In them that
trust His love.
O Zion, praise
the Lord thy God,
His wondrous love
confess;
He is thy glory
and thy strength,
He will thy
children bless.

highest heavens,
Praise Him, ye
clouds that roll,
Created by his
power
And under His
control,
Ye heavens that
stand eternally,
Established by
His firm decree.
Ye creatures in
the sea
And creatures on
the earth,
Your mighty Maker
praise
And tell His
matchless worth;
Praise Him, ye
stormy winds that blow,
Ye fire and hail,
ye rain and snow.
Ye hills and
mountains, praise,
Each tree and
beast and bird;
Ye kings and
realms of earth,
Now let your
praise be heard;
By high and low,
by young and old,
Be all His praise
and glory told.

Above the earth
and heaven
He reigns in
glorious state;
Praise Him, ye
saints, who know His grace
And ever dwell
before His face.

At His word they

ye flocks and herds,
Woods and fields
and fruitful vineyards,

Chosen of the
Lord and precious,
Thankful
hallelujahs raise.

children praise and bless
Their Maker and
their King.
Yea, let them
praise His blessed Name
With all

And celebrate His
worth.

their Maker
His people shall
sing,
And children of
Zion
Rejoice in their
King.
With timbrel and
harp
And joyful
acclaim,
With gladness and
mirth,
Sing praise to
His Name;
For God in His
people
His pleasure doth
seek,
With robes of
salvation
He clotheth the
meek.
In glory exult,
Ye saints of the
Lord;
With songs in the
night
High praises
accord;
Go forth in His
service
And strong in His
might
To conquer all
evil
And stand for the
right.
For this is His
word:
His saints shall
not fail,
But over the
earth
Their power shall
prevail;
All kingdoms and
nations
Shall yield to
their sway.
To God give the
glory
And praise Him
for aye.

throng,
Jehovah's praise
prolong,
New anthems sing;
Ye saints, with
joy declare
Your Maker's
loving care,
And let the
children there
Joy in their
King.
O let His Name
employ
Your every note
of joy,
His praises
speak;
He looks with
loving face
Upon His chosen
race,
And will with
every grace
Adorn the meek.
